(Ask for a subscription and ask for a commuter pass.) ）

Xu Ji sent Gan Zhao out of the camp, Gan Zhao drank a little too much, his cheeks were red, but he was still sober, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xu has a good trick of the fox and fake the tiger, and he has deceived the tigers on both sides." ”

Gan Zhao already felt weird, and when he was drinking with Liu Busheng and others, he immediately understood the cause and effect.

Xu Ji's face was hot, and he arched his hand and said, "Gan leads ......"

Gan Zhao held Xu Ji's arm and whispered: "No matter what, peace is beneficial to both parties, and this is all thanks to Mr. Xu." Will Mr. Xu go to Jiangdong with King Wu Yue in the future? ”

Xu Ji shook his head, "I'm going to go to Mengjin first, and then respond to the city and join Shen Mushou." ”

Gan Zhao nodded, "The children of the Xu Gongzi family should be famous." Gan Zhao glanced at the people around him and lowered his voice, "The place of the Incarnation King is not a place to stay for a long time, although I have no intention of becoming the king, but I also want to bring a team to open up the territory elsewhere, can Xu Gongzi give me some advice?" ”

It was the first time Xu Ji was asked about such a major matter, and he hurriedly said: "How dare you instruct the elders when you are young and arrogant?" ”

Gan Zhao said with a smile: "Youzhi is not old, please Mr. Xu don't take the first acquaintance as an obstacle and give me guidance." ”

"Commander Gan asked, don't dare not answer, let me think carefully."

Xu Ji sent Gan Zhao and the others to the mountain on foot, and asked halfway: "I don't know what Gan's ambition is, to win the world?" Dominating one side? ”

Gan Zhao's eyes lit up, and he immediately said: "If I can stay on one side and wait for the world to be peaceful, it will be enough for me." ”

"If Commander Gan doesn't tell the truth, I can only point to the wrong place."

Gan Zhao said with a smile: "Let Mr. Xu laugh, I want to hear about the strategy of winning and dominating." ”

Xu Ji smiled and continued walking.

The two walked slowly, and the others had already reached the ridge with their horses, and they were still more than a hundred steps away.

Xu Ji stopped, glanced at the military camp under the ridge, sighed lightly, and said: "If you want to win the championship, it is best to go back to Qinzhou, rectify the chaotic people, occupy Xijing, and then wait for the opportunity to go east." ”

"What are the odds of winning?"

Xu Ji raised his right index finger.

"Ichisei?" Gan Zhao was a little disappointed.

Xu Ji shook his head, "Only Yicheng hopes to pacify Qinzhou, as for whether he can win the world, it is beyond my prediction." ”

Gan Zhao laughed dryly, "Where can I be on the side?" ”

"Yizhou."

"Yizhou? It doesn't seem to be chaotic there, and I don't know the heroes over there. ”

"Shu has not been destroyed for a long time, the king of Yidu is mediocre, the government is tyrannical, and his people are thinking of the old master, if the commander can find the descendants of the king of Shu and support it, he may be able to sweep away the land of Shu in one fell swoop."

Gan Zhao's eyes lit up again, "How sure are you this time?" ”

Xu Ji still raised a finger.

"Or is it only one percent? It's better to win the championship. ”

Xu Ji shook his head, "It's also a good idea, after Pingqinzhou, there is no advance or retreat, but Pingyizhou can advance or retreat, and the difficulty is very different." ”

Gan Zhao smiled: "Understood, thank you Mr. Xu." The way I am now, the so-called promises are no different from deception, but I leave a sentence: If Mr. Xu rises all the way, he will always be a distinguished guest to me, and if he wants to find another place to live, I will wait for him here. ”

"Thank you for your high esteem, and remember the promise of Gan to rule today."

Gan Zhao took his leave, and strode after his companion in front.

Xu Ji followed behind slowly, until he was on the ridge, looking at Gan Zhao and the others leaving, he suddenly wanted to catch up, and reminded him that most of what he said just now was hearsay, plus some paper talk, in fact, he was not even half sure, if Gan Zhao was serious, it was very likely to be defeated.

But he didn't catch up after all, and the only person in this world who couldn't show hesitation was the strategist, muttering: "He's not the one who won the championship, he's not the ......"

Xu Ji stayed in the camp of Ningbaoguan for a day, and saw groups of chaotic people coming to defect, most of them were rebellious but ownerless river workers, they didn't care whose banner the king of Wuyue played, they just wanted to eat a few days and eat well, and finally be able to return to their hometowns in Huainan and Jiangdong.

Hegong has a good outside, most of them are not dragged down by their families, and it is easier to become an army.

Ning Baoguan is also strict in picking people, and those who drag their families with their mouths are not allowed, give them some food, and persuade them to defect to the World Army.

In the evening of the same day, the incarnate king sent and agreed to give eight days to meet the two kings in the early morning of the next day to go out of their respective camps and form an alliance at the meeting place.

The matter was completed, Ning Baoguan called Xu Ji and said: "You are here for Ma Wei, you are a hero who values love and righteousness, since I am called the king, I will never lie." Early tomorrow morning, I will send 500 men to take you to Mengjin. Find Mavi, you can take him away, love to go wherever he wants, or come back together, I have left a place for you all. I heard that your assassination is to avenge the state of Wu, if you are willing, you can go to Jiangdong with me, where you will be useful. ”

Xu Ji pondered, "It's not a secret, Ma Wei and I still have to go to Shen Mushou." At present, the situation is chaotic, and I should try my best to match the three families and the officers and soldiers of the enemy. ”

Ning Baoguan laughed rarely, got up and said, "Go, I won't stop it." But let me remind you, the Shen family does not have the appearance of Long Xing, you will have to come back to me sooner or later, and the position is still reserved for you, but I will doubt your vision. ”

The person Xu Ji really wanted to defect to was not Shen Zhi, but the fifth prince Shen Tan, and arched his hand and said: "If you say too much, you will lose, and the king should doubt the eyes of all the strategists." ”

"Haha, you're right." Ning Baoguan sent Xu Ji out of the tent, and said as he walked: "You are too young, although you have the courage to stab, but you don't have the mind to make friends, otherwise, you can also dominate one side." When you have this idea, I am willing to lend you troops, as for the number, it depends on how many soldiers I have, and I can always do it by dividing three or four percent. ”

Within a day, Xu Ji had another promise, and his answer was the same as before: "Thank you for your high opinion, and remember the king's promise today." ”

Ning Baoguan is good at recognizing people, and sees the weakness of Xu Ji who doesn't understand the art of possessing people, and his statement coincides with Guo Shifeng.

Xu Ji returned to the tent, thought for a long time, for a while, for a while, he thought he was incompetent, and finally came to the conclusion that he was too young to be breathed down when someone said two words.

Early the next morning, Ning Baoguan led his troops to meet the descending king, and at the same time divided 500 soldiers, led by the general Luo Hanqi, and sent Xu Ji to Mengjin to chase Ma Wei.

Luo Hanqi was still haunted by the loss of the long lance, and when he left the camp, he said: "Actually, there is no need to go, Ma Wei must be dead, he took 200 people to attack Mengjin, that is, to send him to death." ”

The five hundred people were all infantry, and only Xu Ji and Luo Hanqi rode horses.

"More than ten days ago, King Wu Yue was going to take more than 20 people to attack the city."

"It's different, it's completely different, who is King Ning? With the courage of 10,000 people, plus our 100 enemies and 1,000 enemies, it is easy to take a small city. Ma Wei, like you, is a scholar, only lip service, fighting, siege cities? Haha, not much better than a woman. ”

Luo Hanqi looked down on scholars, and all the way he was boasting about the people he had killed and the merits he had made, Xu Ji Dan showed a little disbelief, he raised his eyebrows and danced the new lance in his hand, "Let's compete, I'll let you make ten moves, you can stab me, even if I lose." ”

Xu Ji shook his head with a smile, waited until the other party bragged, and slowly asked Ma Wei why he wanted to attack Meng Jin.

Luo Hanqi didn't care about this kind of thing, he didn't know much, and he could only provide a few words of information every time, and Xu Ji guessed the general situation.

Ma Wei stayed by King Wu Yue's side, and he was always trying to save himself, not only changing the names of everyone, but also providing many strategies, and it was his idea to accept the government's recruitment.

A few days ago, hundreds of rebels came to defect, they were not the descendant army, nor the river workers, but the natives of the neighborhood, who could not bear the tyranny of the government, so they simply united with several villages and joined the rebels.

They brought too many family members, and Ning Baoguan didn't want to take them in, but Ma Wei became interested, because many of them claimed to be from the Liang Kingdom, and when they heard that Ma Wei was the former Liang Emperor, they knelt down and worshipped.

Ma Wei insisted on leaving these people, Ning Baoguan said: "You can take the people away, I will divide your weapons, if you can capture Mengjin and let me go east by boat, I will lend you troops again, and I will recognize you as the king of Liang." ”

Ning Baoguan seems to be very willing to lend troops to others, although it is not much, but it is of great use.

Xu Ji was surprised by one thing, "Does King Wu Yue suspect that there are many soldiers?" Why do you push all the people who drag their families to the king? ”

"Who knows, we also persuaded King Ning, saying that those people in the Descending Army are not credible, and there is no reason to increase their strength. King Koning did not listen, saying that his team was to return to Jiangdong as a sign, and it must be as fast as a fly, without the slightest drag. He also said that everyone was born in the Incarnation Army, and even if they fell out, they had to retain three points of respect for the Incarnation King. ”

When he called the incarnated king "Xue Liu" yesterday, Ning Baoguan didn't have the slightest respect, Xu Ji had already figured out Ning Baoguan's intentions in his heart, and he couldn't help but smile on his face.

Luo Hanqi asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”

"It's fine."

"No, you scholars have a lot of ghosts and smiles on your faces, and you will have no good intentions. Come on, although my lance is not a sharp weapon of the Emperor of All Things, it is still very easy to poke you in a hole. ”

Ning Baoguan is to increase the burden of the descending army, wait for the opportunity to defeat it in one fell swoop, and then absorb the rebellious people.

This must be Ning Baoguan's plan, he didn't reveal it to his generals, and Xu Ji naturally couldn't talk much, so he said: "I have seen the long lance of the Emperor of All Things with my own eyes, there are a lot of them, but he only uses one shot, unlike the one Luo Yingying took yesterday." ”

"Really?"

"When the government rewards, it will also deceive people."

Luo Hanqi scolded a few words, and suddenly laughed, "Since it's not the lance of the Emperor of All Things, it doesn't matter if you lose to Liu Busheng." Have you ever seen the dancing lance of the Emperor of All Things? ”

Xu Ji nodded.

"How is it better than me?" Luo Hanqi raised his head and danced a trick.

Xu Ji shook his head.

Luo Hanqi thought that this was the meaning that the Emperor of All Things was inferior to himself, and he was overjoyed, and danced a few more moves, winning the applause of many soldiers.

The villages and towns along the river were deserted, the inhabitants either fled or were killed, and there were almost no living people along the way.

No news was received about Mavi.

Xu Ji insisted on rushing more at night, only resting for an hour in the middle of the night, continuing to hurry before dawn, and finally saw the small city on the north bank of Mengjin at about noon the next day.

"Where have all the officers and soldiers gone?" Luo Hanqi was very puzzled, "There was a camp here a few days ago. ”

Xu Ji left five hundred people and rode to the city alone, seeing that the city wall was intact and undamaged, and the banner at the head of the city still belonged to the Tiancheng Dynasty, and Ma Wei didn't seem to have been here at all.

The gates of the city were closed during the day, and the soldiers at the head of the city had already noticed the unknown person in the distance, and said to the people under the city: "Where did you come from?" Whose people are they? ”

The costumes and banners of Luo Hanqi and others were no different from those of officers and soldiers, and they were regarded as their own by the defenders of the city.

Xu Ji was thinking about how to answer, and there was a man at the head of the city: "Open the city gate, this is the reinforcement I am talking about!" ”

This was Ma Wei's voice, but Xu Ji didn't understand what the "reinforcements" were all about.
