Guo Shifeng's identity is a little embarrassing in the eyes of others, but he himself accepts it calmly, "Look at my mouth, don't look at my people, just because I have been in various families, I can talk to each family, this is a skill, right?" ”

To Xu Ji, Guo Shifeng was the same kind of person, and said with a smile: "We are all people who have crossed the mountains and waded through the river, and the situation of the mountains and rivers in the world is all in your hearts and mine." Ha ha. ”

Xu Ji was a little surprised by this visit, asked Guo Shifeng to sit down, and said with a smile: "If you talk about going over mountains and rivers, I can't compare to Brother Guo's knowledge. ”

"The meaning is the same, but now it's different, King Wu himself is a mountain and river, and he wants others to turn over and come over."

"Brother Guo is here for this?"

"How can a 'well-informed' person like me not come and see it?"

Guo Shifeng's face was full of shame, but Xu Ji felt a little admiration in his heart, and said with a smile: "Xiaoshan and Xiaohe, it's not worth coming, Brother Guo will be disappointed." ”

"Hey, hey." There are no outsiders in the tent, Guo Shifeng is not worried that the words will leak out, "If you talk about mountains and rivers, there is no one here, and the eastern capital and Yecheng are considered to be some scale." ”

"Brother Guo is not optimistic about the righteous army?"

"Heaven is self-defeating, and the gods and Buddhas are difficult to save, so I am optimistic about the righteous army, but who knows if a mountain will be higher than a mountain in the future? Tiancheng has decayed, and the kings of the righteous army are all pillars, and there are no silverfish on their bodies? ”

Xu Ji had to admit that Guo Shifeng really said that he was in his heart, Emperor Tiancheng was mediocre, and the traitorous ministers were in charge, but looking at them one by one, the kings didn't seem to be smart.

Guo Shifeng arched his hand and said: "I know King Wu's intentions, so I dare to give direct advice, presumably King Wu will not be too angry." ”

Xu Ji smiled: "Let's still be brothers, the word 'King Wu' sounds awkward to me." ”

"Then I'm welcome, my brother has always had a long-term mind, have you ever thought about what will happen after breaking through the Eastern Capital?"

Although Xu Ji admired Guo Shifeng, he was also vigilant, and replied: "I don't think much about it, I care more about how to protect myself if I don't break through the Eastern Capital, and the righteous army will be defeated." ”

"Haha, it's really still the style of the younger brother. To tell you the truth, I came this time for this. ”

"Wait, let's explain first, who is Brother Guo here for?"

"For the two kings of Liang and Jin, and for myself."

"Please Brother Guo come one by one."

Guo Shifeng smiled, "Others before yourself." The meaning of King Liang is very simple, thinking that among the armies, Liang and Wu are the weakest, but the two kings have the deepest friendship. ”

"King Liang wants the cavalry of the Wu army?"

"Brother Ji is smart, he can understand it at a point, King Liang is not in vain, he is willing to exchange the same number or even more infantry. It can also be the other way around, if the Wu army has a suitable cavalry general, he is willing to hand over all the cavalry of the Liang army to the Wu army. ”

There were not many cavalry in the Liang army, but it was also true that the Wu army lacked generals, especially cavalry generals.

Xu Ji was noncommittal, "What about King Jin?" ”

"It's also to borrow cavalry."

"In exchange for what?"

There were no outsiders in the tent, Guo Shifeng still turned his head to look at it twice, and said in a low voice: "The two kings of Liang and Jin have already negotiated on this matter, the cavalry of the Wu army can be lent to anyone, and the younger brother can get more infantry, in addition-" Guo Shifeng lowered his voice, "Jiangdong will become a place of right and wrong sooner or later, and the king of Wuyue Ning Baoguan is not a good type, and after the war, it will become a big trouble for the younger brother, and Liang and Jin are willing to help the Wu army." ”

"How can I help?"

"Don't wait to enter the Eastern Capital, after defeating the officers and soldiers, solve it outside the city. The younger brother does not have to come forward, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the people of the world, and the two kings of Liang and Jin acted in a contemporary manner. ”

"In what name?"

"Ning Baoguan was disrespectful to King Liang, ungrateful, surrendered to the court several times, capricious, and these two major sins are enough."

Xu Ji pondered for a moment, "The matter of the two kings is over, what about Brother Guo's own?" ”

"If everything goes well and the rebel army breaks through the eastern capital, I have nothing to ask for from my brother. In the event of misfortune and a great defeat of the rebel army, I will beg my brother to take him in advance. ”

"The righteous army was defeated, and the Wu army should have no reason to exist alone, why did Brother Guo ask me to take it in? Or did Brother Guo make the same request to all the kings? ”

"Haha, except for the younger brother, no one can listen to the word 'big defeat'. I only ask my brother to take me in, whether Wu Juncun is alive or dead, it has no effect, I only ask my brother to take me to escape with me. ”

"Where are you going?"

"Yecheng."

It turned out that Guo Shifeng still remembered the importance and attraction of the prince of Jibei to Xu Ji, and wanted to leave a way back for himself.

Xu Ji smiled slightly, "Brother Guo is thoughtful. ”

"I didn't go with my brother in vain, my brother assassinated, rebelled, and became the king, everything is a capital crime, and I can do what I don't say and do in person, and-" Guo Shifeng showed an ambiguous smile, "I still have a little connection with Yecheng, and I can help Brother I." ”

Xu Ji weighed it for a long time, "Brother Guo's request, I can accept it." ”

Guo Shifeng's face was happy.

"The request of the two kings of Liang and Jin, let me think about it again, the soldiers of the Wu army are known for their strength and respect, and it is difficult for them to be included in the army of others."

"There are still three days left in the battle, and the younger brother slowly thinks that he can borrow troops on the twentieth day of the lunar month."

Guo Shifeng was about to leave, and Xu Ji said: "If I borrow troops, who will be the cavalry general?" ”

"Liang General Pan Kai, he was born in a family of riding generals, although he has been hidden in the community all these years, the family heirloom is still there, King Liang has tried it, and King Jin is also satisfied."

Xu Ji said: "I always thought that King Jin would reuse Tan Wusense. ”

"Tan Wuwu does have some strategies, but he loves to speak loudly and is appreciated by the King of Jin, but he is not liked by the generals. The rebel army is barely gathered, and it is difficult to subdue those who are not in a high position, so the commander can only be Liu Youzhong, and the cavalry general will choose Pan Kai, and Tan Wuwu will stay by the side of King Jin as a staff officer, which is enough. Brother Tan admires Tan Senseless? ”

"I am also the one who was scolded by his words."

"Haha. Don't delay the rest of the younger brother, just say goodbye and wait for the younger brother to decide. ”

Xu Ji was sent outside the tent, the cold wind blew, Guo Shifeng shivered for a while, "After all, the tent is not as good as bricks, I hope to end the suffering of this march as soon as possible." ”

Not long after Guo Shifeng left, Meng Senglun came over to inquire about the situation, "That Guo Shifeng, I heard that he is a capricious villain, don't be deceived by him when you are in power." ”

"I used to be classmates, and I just came to catch up, and I had no other meaning."

Meng Shenglun always wanted to do something for the ruling king "desperately", but Xu Ji didn't dare to say the suggestion of the two kings of Liang and Jin, for fear that he would do it in advance, and really go to Ning Baoguan to do his best.

"That's good, let's rest early, there will be a lot of things tomorrow."

"Wait, there's something I want to ask you."

"Ruler, please."

"Who do you think can be a cavalry commander in the battalion?"

"The ruling army is convinced, so why choose another cavalry general?"

Xu Ji couldn't admit his flaws in the art of war, and said with a smile: "The kings join forces, I have more important things to do, and I need someone to share the responsibility of running the army for me." ”

Meng Shenglun thought for a while, "The Wu people are not good at cavalry warfare, it is really difficult to choose a cavalry general, in my opinion, General Song is suitable, he has a brave spirit, dare to take the lead, and most importantly, he is loyal to the government, and he is a son of the Seven Clans, which is enough to serve the public." ”

"General Song can be a fierce general, but he is not a general. What if I find an outsider? ”

Meng Senglun was immediately vigilant, "Outsiders? What outsiders? The generals with the surname are also Wu people, and they are from a humble background, and they don't know how to lead troops. ”

is also from Jiangdong, but Meng Shenglun regards the soldiers with the surname as outsiders.

Xu Ji smiled: "Outside Jiangdong." ”

"Are you from Jingzhou?" Meng Shenglun frowned slightly, "I don't see any of them who can be cavalry generals, but if it is someone who is favored by the ruling party, I can accept it." ”

"I'm still looking for someone, not necessarily from Jingzhou, General Meng just knows it in his heart, don't leak it to the outside world."

"Of course." Meng Shenglun said goodbye, and when he came to the door, he added: "These more than 3,000 cavalry are the old books of the Wu army, and the ruling power was founded by one's own strength, and you must not pretend to others." The generals of the seven clans only obey the ruling power, and they do not obey the control of others. ”

Xu Ji nodded.

Before the war started, the victory or defeat was not divided, the righteous army began to fight openly and secretly, Xu Ji lay on the bed and thought about it over and over again, Tang Weitian entered the tent and turned off the lights, and he didn't notice it.

Where in the world is there really a thing that responds to every call? He thought, gradually relieved in his heart, the difficulty of rebellion, the difficulty is that the people are not aligned, the court is crumbling because of this, and the righteous army has become a plate of scattered sand.

"Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, it is indeed a wise saying." Xu Ji said.

"What are the Governors talking about?" Tang Weitian was woken up.

"I said that whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world."

"That's right, everyone says so, whoever can win the hearts of the people can become the emperor."

Xu Ji smiled and didn't speak again, this is not what he meant at all, people's hearts are not ethereal, nor are they in the world, it is around, everyone is different, their hearts are different, those who can figure it out have the upper hand, and those who can make the most of it win the world.

The image of Fan Guan, a celebrity, appeared inexplicably, as if shaking his head, Xu Ji pushed him aside, and fell asleep peacefully, already having an idea in his heart.

The next morning, Ning Baoguan led the army to arrive, and as soon as noon passed, Gan Zhao was the last one to come over to join the camp.

The five kings converged, and the army was greatly strengthened, and no one could tell how many people there were, claiming to be 500,000, and at a cursory glance, it did look a little bit, and even many soldiers in the battalion believed in this number.

There was still a gap between the five kings, so they didn't talk about business, set up a banquet first, and summoned the generals to get drunk and rest.

Xu Ji found Guo Shifeng, led him to the back of the crowd, and whispered: "I can lend troops to the two kings of Liang and Jin." ”

Guo Shifeng was overjoyed and was about to speak, Xu Ji continued: "I want to exchange twice the infantry, and it can only be Tan Wuwu as a cavalry general. ”

Guo Shifeng was stunned for a moment, "It's no problem to double the infantry, but the two kings have already selected Pan Kai, which is also the result of negotiations." Pan Kai is a Liang general, and he was suddenly replaced by a Jin person, this ...... It's hard to say. ”

"So I want Brother Guo to say, I'll wait for your reply."

Guo Shifeng nodded, said goodbye, and went to King Liang and King Jin to pass the word.

Taking the opportunity of toasting, Xu Ji sat down next to Gan Zhao and whispered: "The five armies are in a joint camp, and they need a commander, who does Commander Gan think is suitable?" ”

"You really need a manager, otherwise the partnership is useless. Is Xu Gongzi interested? ”

"King Liang and King Jin belong to Liu Youzhong."

"Xiangshi Liu has an end? He has a good reputation, and he fights wars...... All right? ”

"Waiting for the meeting, Commander Gan can also recommend one person."

"No one on my side can be the commander of the whole army."

"He could." Xu Ji looked up at the coach he had in mind.

Not far away, Ning hugged Guan and sat down, drinking with the toaster, without half a word of nonsense, among the kings, the number of generals gathered in front of him was the most.
