Ma Wei sent a letter back, confirming Tan's pointless speculation and King Wu's fear: there were really another enemy army in the north, and there was more than one.

The name of the Jin army is to watch the battle, which is nothing more than to observe the situation, once the Wu and Liang armies show weakness, the king of Jin will definitely participate, in order to get a piece of the pie.

The two kings that Xu Ji let go of at the beginning all came back to cause him great trouble and threat.

Tan Wuwu was called again, stayed by King Wu's side, listened to him discuss with the generals, was silent, and when the generals dispersed and the two were "chatting", Tan Wuwu smiled meaninglessly: "I know King Wu's intentions." ”

"Intentions?"

"You want to pique my interest and give you advice. But I won't, because King Jin is still there, and there are many generals, and his strength is double that of before. ”

Xu Ji also said with a smile: "The so-called strength has always been more virtual and less real, not to mention that it is unwise for the King of Jin to attract the cavalry of He Rong's department." ”

Knowing that King Wu was quoting his own words, Tan Wuwu couldn't help but say: "Speaking of 'unwise' - King Wu regrets not being at the beginning now, right?" ”

"Why do I regret it?"

"First King Ning, you let him go, he turned around and burned your soldiers, and now it is the King of Jin - the King of Jin returned to the state by his own ability, but the King of Wu made a little effort - King Wu wanted the King of Jin to block He Rong's department, but the King of Jin borrowed troops from He Rong's department and went south. Haha, what a trick. ”

Xu Ji thought for a while, shook his head and said: "I don't regret it, although King Jin is not wise, after all, he didn't let He Rongbu cause trouble to Kyushu, and that's enough." The Central Plains and the north are fighting and combining, which is the norm, with the ambition of the king of Jin, although he borrowed troops from He Rong's department, he will not live under it for a long time, let alone give up the land of the state. ”

"Let me be blunt, what if King Wu is captured by King Jin?"

"I only regret that I didn't plan this battle well, I was defeated and captured, and I also involved hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and I don't regret letting go of King Jin in the first place."

"King Wu is talking big." Tan didn't believe it.

Xu Ji leaned forward slightly and said with a smile: "Becoming the king and defeating the king, I have defended the Eastern Capital, as long as I defeat the enemies from all walks of life again, who cares who I let go and who I left behind?" ”

"The situation is already clear, in addition to the west, the east capital is attacked on three sides, and the strength of each side cannot be underestimated, and it is even more difficult for King Wu to defeat all the way, not to mention at least three roads, or even four or five roads? I watched King Wu's arrangement, lackluster, and the odds of winning were really not much. ”

"General Tan has another opinion?"

Tan shook his head senselessly, "This so-called general trend, I don't have a high opinion, unless King Wu really has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, maybe there is a war." ”

Xu Ji knew that Tan was pointless and didn't want to say it, so he said to himself: "General Tan only sees my bright layout, but he doesn't know my secret methods. ”

"King Wu relies too much on stratagem to last long."

"Soldiers are not tired of deceit, and soldiers are treacherous, these are all what General Tan said."

"I am a general, I can never get tired of deceit, you are the king of Wu, you should accept the hearts of the people of the world with the right way, one strange and one right, complement each other. It's good now, King Wu is full of scheming, but the descendant general who led the troops is a sincere person, hehe, what should be deceived is not deceitful, and what should be righteous is not right......"

Tan shook his head senselessly.

"Who kept me from being able to find a suitable general?" Xu Ji sighed lightly.

Tan Wuwu still shook his head, and said after a while: "I don't ask about the secret means, I only ask about the general situation, how will King Wu deal with the enemy?" ”

"The general words are simple, the enemy's strength is also the enemy's shortcoming, all sides besiege the eastern capital, claiming to be united, each other can not be without suspicion, they must wait and see each other, hoping that the other party will send troops first, such as the king of Jin."

"Hey." Tan Wufu refused to answer this sentence.

"My response is to take advantage of the long and show the short." Xu Ji nodded, looking confident.

Tan Wuwu waited for a while, and couldn't help but say, "What about the specifics?" ”

"In my heart. As General Tan said, the general trend is like this, it is not a simple strategy that can be countered, there is only one way to break the enemy, I can think of it, General Tan can naturally think of it, let's just tacitly do it. ”

Tan Wuwu couldn't stand the "tacit understanding", "Sending strategists to sow discord and sending assassins to assassinate the main general, these two things are not strategies I can come up with, the soldiers are not tired of deceit, only on the soldiers, not outside the soldiers." ”

"Haha, I sent the strategists, but the assassins didn't. And that's just a subtotal, to help the general and recall, not the basics. ”

Tan looked at King Wu uselessly, "I don't believe it." ”

"Believe it or not, after my big victory, General Tan can preach to him, saying that you coincide with me."

Tan Wuwu knew that King Wu was making the law exciting, and endured it again and again, but he still said: "Let's write down the outline on the paper and see if it is the same." If it's the same, I apologize to King Wu, if it's different, hum ......"

"Then I apologize to General Tan for my outspokenness."

There are pens and paper in the council room, Xu Ji lays paper, Tan is useless to study ink, and the two of them are about to start.

There were more than a dozen guards in the hall, all of them were curious at this time, they didn't care about the general situation, they just wanted to see who apologized, and although the stakes were not big, they were somewhat interesting.

Tang Weitian stood beside King Wu, looked down at him very seriously, and muttered for a while: "If only I could read and write." ”

Xu Ji quickly finished writing, put the pen back on the shelf, Tan looked up at him uselessly, sped up and wrote a few more lines, also put down the pen, and admired it for a moment, "Okay, now exchange?" ”

Xu Ji nodded, Tan Wuwu handed over his paper, took King Wu's paper from Tang Weitian's hand, and laughed after just looking at it: "You have no jokes, King Wu is not ready to apologize?" ”

The guards were disappointed, and Tang Weitian said in surprise: "This, this is the winner and loser?" ”

Tan Wuxian paper was placed in front of him, Xu Ji didn't even look down at it, and said with a smile: "Please General Tan take another look." ”

Tan Wuxian read it quickly, "Just a few words, our strategies are different, King Wu's plan is considered to be upper-middle, how can it compare to my superior strategy?" King Wu also had to apologize. ”

"General Tan, please take a closer look." Xu Ji still did not apologize.

Tan turned over the paper uselessly and wondered, "What is there to look at?" King Wu will look at me first. ”

"It's almost the same, you don't need to look at it."

Tan Wuxuan was really enraged, holding King Wu's paper and said loudly: "Everyone, as a witness: King Wu's plan is to attack the west from the east, no, to attack the south from the north, first send troops to Mengjin, with great fanfare, and then secretly turn around and go south, first break the Jingzhou army, and make the enemy in the north fearful." It is considered a mid-to-upper plan, but it is too underestimated to look down on the Jingzhou army, Xi Yun was not under the command of the general back then, and he never broke through the national capital or captured the emperor, but he was also in charge and invincible. King Wu was deceived by the Xi family's performance in the Eastern Capital, thinking that the Jingzhou army, like the Jizhou army, was known for its weapons in vain, and made a big mistake. Xi Yun's use of troops, even if he is not as good as the general, is far more than Wang Tiemei, he fled the eastern capital, because he is unwilling to serve the imperial court......"

Tang Weitian stood on the side of King Wu and interjected: "General Tan, what about your own strategy?" You are not the same, you just say that King Wu does not talk about yourself, who knows the result? ”

Tan nodded needlessly, "My strategy is the best choice, I don't need to make a noise about these tricks of attacking the north and the south, I will pour out of the city and attack the Jingzhou army, take advantage of its unstable foothold, and get rid of it in a battle, no matter how much it costs, it is worth it." ”

Tang Weitian glanced at King Wu, then at the other guards in the hall, and finally at Tan Wusense: "General Tan, are you kidding?" ”

"How is this a joke?"

"However, you and King Wu's plan are obviously the same, but you just saved a step, so you should apologize."

Tan shook his head senselessly, "One step is very different." King Wu's plan to attack the north and attack the south can be used on the Yong general, Xi Yun will be able to see through it, increase his confidence, and will definitely stick to it with all his might. Once the king of Wu is exhausted, he will attract all the armies to march together, and the eastern capital will be lost, but it will only be a few days. My strategy is to see the weakness of the Zhulu Army, and to make sure that they dare not participate in the war, they will only wait and see from afar, so I will do my best to attack the Jingzhou Army. ”

"I still think it's about the same." Tang is the way of heaven.

Tan waved his hand senselessly, "The shaft is not enough and the plan, King Wu said, our strategy is the same?" ”

"General Tan, what are we writing down?"

"A plan to break the enemy?"

"No, it is the 'rough' to break the enemy, the so-called rough, not to investigate the details, the rough is to break the Jingzhou army first, deterring the enemy army from all directions, as for how to break the law, you and I see it differently, but this is the details, not the rough."

Tan Wuwu was stunned for a while, "King Wu is picking out words, anyone can think of breaking the Jingzhou Army first, the key is in the details, your details are complicated and useless, my details ......"

Tan didn't have to shut up, saying this was tantamount to admitting that what was written on the paper was not rough.

"I am roughly the same as General Tan but not different, and no one has to apologize." Xu Ji said with a smile.

Tan Wuxian also laughed a few times, "King Wu tricked me into writing a plan to break the enemy, but I didn't write it all, and I poured all the strength of the army into breaking the Jingzhou army, which is easy to say, but it is even more difficult to do." The army of King Wu came from different sources, there were many factions, and it was twice as difficult to use troops as the regular army, and I didn't write about the relationship. It's King Wu, you wrote 'Rendezvous with reinforcements', where did the reinforcements come from? ”

Xu Ji smiled: "I didn't write either." ”

Tan stood with his sword in his hands, raised his head and was silent, fighting with his mouth, he was ashamed, but he was not convinced.

Another messenger arrived outside, and after Xu Ji summoned him, he called several generals to discuss the plan to use the Luozhou soldiers, which ended an hour later.

Xu Ji wrote the paperwork, as if he had forgotten all the things just now.

Tan Wuwu didn't forget, paced back and forth in front of King Wu, and finally said: "Let's each tell the details that have not been written, what does King Wu think?" ”

Xu Ji put down his pen, "Okay, who will come first?" ”

"King Wu, please."

Xu Ji motioned for the guards to retreat, and Tang Weitian said, "But I want to hear the result." ”

"You'll see later." Xu Jidao, Tang Weitian had no choice but to follow the guards out of the council hall.

"I sent envoys to Qin and Han prefectures, and invited the newly emerging army there, thinking that it was a reinforcement." Xu Ji said the hidden part.

"First, can King Wu really be invited? Second, will they be able to arrive in time? ”

"Anyway, it's just a ploy on paper, and I'll try to think about the good." Xu Ji said with a smile.

Tan shook his head senselessly, knowing that he had been fooled again, King Wu's hidden plan turned out to be insignificant, but he was a trustworthy person, and said: "King Wu should retreat from everyone, because my words should not be heard by outsiders." If King Wu wants to defeat the Jingzhou army, he must be willing to spend a lot of money. ”

"How old?"

"According to my estimates, at least half of the subordinates of the incarnation general."

Almost everyone wanted to use Xue Jinyan and the Descending Army, even Xu Ji was no exception, but it was becoming more and more difficult for him to achieve peace of mind.

"The incarnated general has a battle with the Jingzhou army today."

"The incarnated general will be defeated." Tan came to a conclusion without even thinking about it.
