(Ask for collection and recommendation)

Tan senselessly pulled out the long sword - his sword could only be more than two feet out of the sheath, and if he had more, he would have to seek help from others - and sent it to his eyes to look at it carefully, nodded and said, "It's still that sword." ”

"What is this sword for?" Xu Ji couldn't help but ask.

"Only if it is useless can it be of great use."

"Huh?"

Tan Wusensei put the half-unsheathed long sword on the table, "Have you noticed this sword?" ”

"Everybody's noticed."

"Do you want to know the origin of this sword?"

"Where does it come from?"

"Of course, the origin is not small, if it weren't for the fact that I just bowed to the fourth brother, I would never say it easily. This sword is called 'Hanging Cloud', and it was forged by the Yellow Emperor thousands of years ago when he was cutting down Chiyou......"

Xu Ji felt wrong when he heard this, "Second brother is joking, right?" ”

Tan sighed meaninglessly, "I can't always find the trick, either too much or not enough." ”

"What is the second brother talking about?"

Tan Wuxian put away the sword and smiled: "Let me tell you the truth, the usefulness of this sword is to attract attention with its uselessness, if someone asks, I can take the opportunity to tell my heart's aspirations." ”

"Like Zhuangzi said sword?"

"Haha, that's right, the master taught me the chapter "Speaking of the Sword" back then, if the fourth brother doesn't interrupt, I can also talk from the sword of the puppet to the sword of the Son of Heaven."

"It's my fault." Xu Ji said with a smile.

Tan shook his head senselessly, "It's because I'm not skilled enough to master the proportions, as soon as I talk about the Yellow Emperor, the fourth brother is suspicious, isn't it?" ”

Xu Ji nodded, "Which master is the second brother's master?" ”

Tan Wuwu showed a strange smile, "The secret of heaven must not be revealed, Master deliberately confessed back then, and did not reveal his old man's name and origin to anyone. ”

Xu Ji even doubted whether Tan Wuwu's real surname was Tan, "Second brother's grandfather is really the Liang Dynasty Shangzhuguo?" ”

"Everyone else takes it seriously, but the fourth brother doesn't think so?"

"I ...... was said to be confused by the second brother. ”

Tan laughed senselessly, suddenly turned into a sigh, took back the long sword, and stroked it gently, "I'm confused myself, sometimes I think, maybe I'm just like this sword, big and useless, everyone will look at me twice when they see me, but no one really takes me seriously." ”

"Second brother's clever plan saved my life last night."

"Hehe, that's not a clever plan, it's just a sentence inserted in one more mouth, just like this, the sword is half cut out of the sheath, but it becomes more and more useless."

"The second brother is just 'useless', and I'm already disgusted." Xu Ji also sighed.

"Shen Bingzhou has a high position and dominates one side, so naturally he won't like the 'assassin', so I've always wondered, why didn't the fourth brother return to his hometown of Jiangdong Wu?"

"I've said it a long time ago, I don't know the people of Wu Guo."

Tan sighed meaninglessly, "The fourth brother dares to stab, but he doesn't dare to go to Wu Kingdom, why ask for difficulties for the former, and the latter for ease?" ”

Xu Ji picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "What's the matter?" Since last night, I have always been taught a lesson, and every sentence is so accurate that I am about to lose myself. ”

"I want to hear the truth, but it's all jokes."

The two of you have a cup and I have a cup, you have a long sigh, I have a short sigh, and it didn't take long for me to get drunk, Tan was useless at the desk, Xu Ji fell on the bed, and each fell asleep.

Tan Wuwu said right, Mu Shou Shen Zhi didn't want to see Xu Ji at all, he valued Guo Shifeng very much, and stayed in the tent for a long time.

Shen Tan came once, saw that the two of them were asleep, and did not wake up, so he ordered someone to send a quilt and take care of it.

Nearly in the evening, Xu Ji woke up and saw Guo Shifeng and Tan Wuwu drinking together, Tan Wuwu talked and laughed freely, as if he had never been drunk.

Xu Ji had a splitting headache, and he couldn't speak for a long time after getting up.

Guo Shifeng said with a smile: "Brother Younger Brother shouldn't drink so much wine. ”

Xu Ji sat on the bed, rubbed his face with his hands, and finally sobered up, "Brother Guo, is this 'floating' again?" ”

"Haha, it's 'floating', and I have to thank my brother, otherwise, this time it will really 'sink' to the end."

"When does Shen Bingzhou plan to become king?"

"The general trend is unknown, and Shen Bingzhou intends to wait. Shen Wugongzi is more anxious, but I think this kind of thing can't be forced, it's better to let Shen Bingzhou figure it out by himself. ”

"Shen Bingzhou still doesn't want to be the first to be the king?"

Guo Shifeng nodded, "It is indeed very risky to be the first to claim the king, the imperial court is now quelling the chaos, once I hear that someone in the north is the king, I will immediately turn around and send troops to the north." ”

"There are already many people in Qinzhou who are kings."

"Hehe, those are the grass kings, the court doesn't recognize them, and even they don't take them seriously."

"Then Shen Bingzhou will continue to wait and see?"

"Wait and see, but not in Jinyang, but south to Mengjin."

"Meng Jin?"

Guo Shifeng refused to continue, "Eat something first, and soon you will suffer from the march." ”

Xu Ji came to the desk and sat down, not wanting to drink anymore, only eating the meat on the table.

"It was I who persuaded Shen Bingzhou to lead his troops south to Mengjin and observe the situation in the name of quelling the chaos." Guo Shifeng said.

"Brother Guo has great ability, and the people he persuades are all successful." Xu Ji was both admiring and a little jealous.

"Winning the award, one is lucky, and the other is to master some secrets, which can convince Shen Bingzhou."

"The secrets of the Eastern Capital?"

"Well, just one thing, does the younger brother know who the imperial court will send to take over the officers and soldiers of the Western Expedition?"

"Isn't it General Cao Shenxi?"

"Cao Shenxi can't do it, he has no one in the court, the emperor of all things uses him to seize the general's military power, and now the general is trapped in the eastern capital, and the military power will naturally be transferred to his cronies. What's more, Cao Shenxi failed to wipe out the river workers in Tongguan, but instead caused him to scatter and flee, affecting the safety of the eastern capital, and the court was very dissatisfied with him, and it was a matter of time before he was replaced. ”

"The imperial court is also unwilling to use a general, that is, General Xi, the king of Jibei, and the king of Xiangdong choose one of the three."

"Hehe, General Xi is even more untrusted than Cao Shenxi, the king of Jibei is in charge of the forbidden army, the king of Xiangdong is in charge of the guards, and the empress dowager will never let them go."

"Could it be...... Could it be General Lan? Xu Ji couldn't believe it.

Guo Shifeng said with a smile: "I can't think of it, but I'm sure that Lan Sui will take over the Western Army, maybe he will take office now, but the news hasn't come yet." ”

"Lan Sui made a mess in Qinzhou, and even lied about his military exploits, and the imperial court actually wanted to use him?"

Lan Sui was anxious to atone for his sins, and the Empress Dowager also wanted to give him a chance. In short, after hearing about this incident, Shen Bingzhou decided to lead his troops south, and if there was an opportunity, he would directly cross the river. ”

Tan poured a glass of wine and pushed it over, Xu Ji picked it up unconsciously, drank half a glass, and his mind was a little clearer, "Isn't there anyone in the court?" ”

"This is the Lan family's housework, and outsiders are not allowed to participate."

"Everyone just watched Tiancheng Dynasty 'commit suicide'?"

"Haha, Brother Ji thinks this is 'suicide', but how many people in the court think this is a good opportunity to be promoted to an official. Don't forget, among the first batch of people who stuck a knife in Tiancheng Chao's body, you are the most important one. ”

Xu Ji smiled, "Yes, I stabbed it, the world knows that people who want to take risks come to me, and those who want to keep it are far away from me." ”

"When the world is more chaotic, there will be adventurous people everywhere, and the younger brother will coincide with the reality." Guo Shifeng smiled happily and turned to Tan Wusense, "Why is Brother Tan so silent?" ”

Tan Wuxian had been drinking sullen wine, raised his head and said, "It's not a good idea to go south at this time. ”

"Brother Tan has another opinion?"

"No matter who the imperial court chooses to be in charge of the army, the soldiers are still those soldiers, in terms of armor and equipment, the world is invincible, and the soldiers of the state rashly go south, fearing that they will be attacked, it is better to enter Qinzhou in the west, seize Xijing, and collect the chaotic people as soldiers."

This is Tan Wuwu's plan all along, Guo Shifeng said with a smile: "Although this plan is good, it is too slow, after Shen and Zhou occupy Qinzhou, other states will inevitably follow suit, and each will cut off its own power, I don't know how many years it will take to wipe them out one by one." Go south to Mengjin, directly point to the eastern capital, once captured, you can coerce the Son of Heaven to order the Quartet, you can let Chan to get the emperor's throne, and the party is the plan of the top. ”

"How to break the rivalry of the official army?"

"Lan Sui is the commander, and the officials and troops will be chaotic. And I got the news that Jizhou and Wuzhou are in chaos, especially Jizhou, where the dragons have no leader, and many generals have secretly sent envoys, willing to serve Shen and Zhou. ”

Jizhou soldiers are strong and strong, and they are a force that can compete with the official army, Tan has nothing to say, and bows his head to drink.

Guo Shifeng said to Xu Ji again: "Brother Ma was really elected as the king by the river workers? ”

This is obviously the news revealed by Shen Tan, Xu Ji said: "There are some original Liang people among the river workers, and they value the identity of Brother Ma very much. ”

"No matter how good it is, I should have come forward in person to persuade Brother Ma to join the state, but this side will not let me go, can Brother Ma do it for me?"

Only a few hours apart, Guo Shifeng changed from an envoy of the imperial court to a military advisor who guarded Shen Zhi, and he no longer needed to be introduced, but could assign tasks to Xu Ji, and at the same time give opportunities.

"Of course you can, but I'm not enough alone, Brother Ma was elected as the king, and he can't be completely in charge, and those river workers and chaotic people under him are quite bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, I have to bring an army to suppress them."

"Army...... How many troops are needed? ”

"Ten thousand."

Guo Shifeng said with a smile: "Brother Brother, this is a lion with a big mouth, I don't dare to mention it to Shen Bingzhou, what does Brother Tan think?" ”

"10,000 is too little, 100,000 is enough."

"Haha, Brother Tan's heart is bigger. In this way, I will go to Shen Bingzhou to ask for troops, maybe I can get one or two thousand people, don't be too few, the army of Jizhou is grass-created, Jizhou reinforcements have not arrived, and it is already very difficult to divide the troops. ”

"How many troops Shen Bingzhou borrows, I will return five times or ten times." Xu Ji boasted of Haikou.

Guo Shifeng got up, "Okay, there are not too many soldiers, the three northern states are going south at the same time, I don't believe that Lan Sui can resist it." ”

Guo Shifeng said goodbye, and Xu Ji said to Tan Wusensely: "Is the second brother willing to go with me?" ”

"On brotherhood, I should accompany you on a trip, but I don't want to go, knowing that I will lose."

"The second brother doesn't know how incompetent Lan Sui is, he has been quelling the chaos in Qinzhou for more than a year, claiming to have won many battles, but the result is that the chaotic army is growing stronger and stronger until it is unstoppable."

"Alas, no one listens to me anyway, so I'll go with you, maybe it's really an accident."

After nightfall, Shen Tan came to see him off, he wanted to stay with his father, straighten out the army, and at least five days later before he could send troops south, the three of them had another drink, talking about the world's major affairs, and even Tan Wuwu changed his mind, thinking that the southern expedition might be able to capture the eastern capital in one fell swoop, and it would not take long to calm the world.

Late at night, Guo Shifeng visited, and he didn't even ask for a thousand soldiers.
