For any king, the incarnation king is the biggest threat, Shen Tan decided to accept Ning Baoguan's overtures, "At least we must get rid of the incarnation king first, otherwise, we will all be busy in vain." As for Ning Baoguan - wait first, and then decide depending on the situation, there is really no way, so it is okay to temporarily give up the eastern capital to him, as long as he is really willing to give up the four prefectures of Qin, Guan, Han, and Hebei. ”

Liu Youzhong said: "You can't be merciful to Ning Huguan, I look at this person's appearance, wolf-shaped jackal heart, usually forbearance, and he will definitely be killed with one blow." Although the king of Jin has the heart to retreat, he may not be able to stop at the end of the pass. The eastern capital is now a difficult battle, there is no retreat, and the king of Jin thinks twice. ”

When Liu Youzhong admonished, he unconsciously changed his title from "third brother" to "King of Jin".

Shen Tan nodded, "I understand, but the fourth brother is right, there are priorities, if I can get rid of Ning Baoguan, of course I won't hesitate, but since he has occupied the eastern capital, he has the advantage of the location, and everything must be guarded against." If we join forces with the incarnation king, we may not be able to kill him, not to mention that if we kill the incarnation king first, people's hearts will be in turmoil, and we will wait for tomorrow to be a guest, and we will not have an advantage. Let me think about it. Trouble the eldest brother and fourth brother to go to see King Liang and King Shu, and let them know that the plan has changed. ”

Liu Youzhong had no choice but to say "good".

Xu Ji breathed a sigh of relief, this hesitation of the King of Jin could at least keep the eastern capital safe for a while, and he arched his hand and said: "The battle for the world is not a momentary victory, Tiancheng has been torn apart, and the chaos is in addition to the battle of wrestle, there is also the struggle for benevolence and righteousness." Righteousness is not beneficial in the present, but it will be useful in the future. ”

Shen Tan said with a smile: "I understand what the fourth brother means, strength and wisdom can eliminate great harm, but they can't win people's hearts, so I have to raise the banner of benevolence and righteousness and make people from all over the world come to join me." I do want to return to Jinyang as soon as possible. ”

"The third brother knows my heart very well."

Shen Tan laughed and sent the two out of the account, he stayed to rearrange tomorrow's plan, and the selected armor soldiers could be used again, but the target to be killed became another.

The snow was flying outside, and halfway through, Liu Youzhong stopped, motioned the guards to step back, and whispered to Xu Ji: "There is something I have to ask to understand, the fourth brother can tell the truth or lie, but I still have to ask." ”

"Big brother, what's wrong? Why should I lie to you? Xu Ji said with a smile.

Liu Youzhong didn't smile, and pulled Xu Ji out a few more steps, "Tell me, do you want to be self-reliant, or do you want to support Mingjun?" Is the Ming Jun in your heart the King of Jin or the King of Ning? ”

Xu Ji didn't answer immediately, and gradually put away the smile on his face, "Since the eldest brother asked, I'll tell the truth, I have the heart to be self-reliant, but I don't have the resources to be self-reliant." Since I proclaimed myself king, every step has been difficult, but I can see clearly that compared with the kings, I am not superior in time, place, and people, and if I reluctantly participate in the competition, it is tantamount to asking for a dead end. ”

Liu Youzhong showed a smile, "There is nothing strange about physiognomy, let alone a fairy, it is just that you can see more people and recognize people more accurately." Fourth brother, don't say that I look down on you, in my opinion, although the fourth brother is a peerless person in the world, he has no emperor. ”

"I can get the eldest brother's sentence 'unparalleled in the world', I am satisfied, how dare I ask for the rest?" Xu Ji said with a smile.

"Then who does the fourth brother think is Mingjun?"

"I haven't made a decision yet." Xu Ji shook his head, "When Tiancheng first died, the heroes may not all gather in the Eastern Capital, maybe there are others elsewhere who take advantage of the situation to rise, even Tiancheng, and there is also a chance to resurrect." ”

"Haha, this is true, before the Descendant Army poured out of Tongguan, who would have thought that a group of chaotic people in Qinzhou would have today's achievements? But what I'm asking is not the world, it's the Eastern Capital, who does the fourth brother think is Mingjun? ”

"Who can keep the Eastern Capital, and can make the best use of things and people, who is Mingjun."

Liu Youzhong was slightly stunned, and then laughed again, "The fourth brother really told the truth. Well, there are only those who are benevolent and righteous, but if they are stronger in wisdom and strength than others, benevolence and righteousness will be of great use. ”

"That's exactly what happened."

"In terms of wisdom and strength, King Jin is extraordinary, and as for 'benevolence and righteousness', the fourth brother will soon be able to see it."

"If you look at friendship, I only recognize King Jin."

"Haha, we're the same, I only have more confidence than the fourth brother." Liu Youzhong paused for a while, "Fourth brother doesn't like the plan to carve up the Eastern Capital? ”

"No matter how rich the eastern capital is, it can't be rich in the world. To get a small fortune is to be ecstatic, competing for a partition, I don't see that he has a chance to get rich. ”

"It was my idea to divide the east, and you heard it, but King Jin didn't agree. So I am a small rich person, but King Jin has the ambition of great wealth. ”

"The King of Jin has indeed shown the hint of 'benevolence and righteousness'."

"I'm just a scholar, I just know some people and sophistication, I only know wisdom and strength, I don't know benevolence and righteousness, don't laugh at me, fourth brother."

"King Jin needs someone like his eldest brother, the so-called wisdom and strength with benevolence and righteousness, which is also said."

Liu Youzhong laughed and nodded again and again, "Wisdom and strength, I have to be the same." ”

The two talked, and Liu Youzhong became more enthusiastic, called the guards behind, and chatted while walking.

Ma Wei's camp was not far from here, and he hadn't slept yet, worried about tomorrow's plans, thinking repeatedly about the pros and cons, for fear that there would be a little loophole.

Seeing the two guests, Ma Wei was overjoyed, "People said that King Wu entered the camp, I thought it was a rumor, but it turned out to be a brother!" ”

After a few words of greeting, Liu Youzhong immediately said that tomorrow's plan had changed, Ma Wei was stunned for a moment, and then showed joy, "I also think that the original plan is not appropriate, the incarnation king is already above the kings, if you kill Ning Baoguan, the incarnation king will be even more arrogant." Wait a minute, you two, I'll call somebody. ”

The plan became a little sudden, and Ma Wei was worried that he was not thinking about it well, so he called Guo Shifeng.

Although he recognized many masters, Guo Shifeng finally returned to King Liang and was willing to give him advice.

"The threat of the incarnation king is indeed greater, he has a very high prestige in the incarnation army, and it is deep-rooted, it is not enough to kill him alone, he must be cut down and eradicated." Guo Shifeng turned around faster and more thoroughly, "This matter must be called the King of Shu, he knows best who the henchmen of the King of the Coming World are, and tomorrow the city will be in and out of the city at the same time, and no one can be left." ”

Liu Youzhong frowned slightly, "Gan Zhao is a bit weird, I have seen a lot of people, I can make a judgment at a glance, I can't say that I can hit every shot, it will not be wrong, it is just that Gan Zhao, I have met a few times, I still can't tell how he is a person." ”

Guo Shifeng said with a smile: "Mr. Liu is afraid that he is thinking too much, Gan Zhao is a small official in Qinzhou, and he uploads and distributes it, and what he asks for is a left and right source." Mr. Liu has seen a lot of big people, and when he sees such a small official, he is dazzled. ”

Liu Youzhong also smiled and said: "Maybe, if Gan Zhao wasn't the King of Shu, I really wouldn't have looked at him more." Who will persuade Gan Zhao, can King Liang work hard again? ”

Ma Wei was just about to open his mouth to agree, but Guo Shifeng preemptively said: "It's not proper, King Liang and Gan Zhao are just general friends, and it is easy to persuade him to deal with Ning Baoguan, but it is difficult to deal with the King of the Incarnation." After all, Gan Zhao is the king of the incarnation king, and he has followed him for a long time, and if the secret is leaked, it will ruin our plan. ”

Xu Ji said: "Why don't I go and probe the mouth, after Gan Zhao meets me, if he leaks tomorrow's plan, it is to save Ning Baoguan, I just took the opportunity to persuade him to join the new plan, if he doesn't say a word, I won't mention it." As for who the henchmen of the incarnation king are, Ning Baoguan also understands. ”

The other three nodded at the same time, and Ma Wei said: "I will send someone to send my brother over, you don't expose your whereabouts, the camp is full of the old department of the Incarnation Army, maybe there will be people who talk a lot to tell the Incarnation King." If Gan Zhao has a heart, it is best, if not, the younger brother has to find a way to remove the doubts in his heart. ”

"I said that I was squeezed out by Ning Huguan in the city, and I wanted to find a way out of the city to find some help." Xu Jidao.

The other three nodded again.

Liu Youzhong stayed in Ma Wei's camp and waited for Xu Ji to come back, while discussing the details of tomorrow.

On this night, among the kings, only Gan Zhao slept soundly, and when he was awakened, he dressed and invited his guests into the tent.

"King Wu?" The report said that someone from King Liang's side came over, and Gan Zhao was very surprised when he saw Xu Ji.

Ma Wei's people withdrew from the tent, and Xu Ji stepped forward and said, "Come to visit at night, don't be abrupt." ”

Gan Zhao asked Xu Ji to sit down, "I can't look forward to it." King Wu is here...... Did King Wu go out of the city by himself? ”

Xu Ji did not keep the promise he made to Ma Wei and others, and said directly: "I was ordered by King Ning to go out of the city, contact the kings, and remove the incarnation together, the two kings of Jin and Liang have all agreed, but without the help of the King of Shu, this matter is difficult to achieve, and I am here for this." ”

Gan Zhao was shocked, his clothes were not all on, he sat there in a daze, and said after a while: "Become ...... It's too fast. ”

"King Ning only left Luo and Jing two states, and other places were given to the kings, what does the king of Shu think?"

"This ...... To be honest, I don't want to get involved in this. I don't want to fight for it, I just want to go to Yizhou as soon as possible, according to the plan taught by King Wu, find the descendants of the original King of Shu, give him the throne, and wait to see how the situation in the world changes. ”

"In that case, count me as a trip for nothing, I just hope that the King of Shu can keep it secret."

Xu Ji got up to leave, but Gan Zhao hurriedly stopped, "King Wu will sit down first, wait for me to think about it." ”

Gan Zhao put on his robe, meditated for a long time, and asked, "Yizhou belongs to me?" ”

"Well, Wuzhou belongs to me, Huaizhou belongs to the king of Liang, and Qin, and, Han, and Ji belong to the king of Jin."

"King Ning also thinks that King Jin is a strong rival, right?"

Xu Ji smiled and nodded.

Gan Zhao thought for a while and shook his head, "I still have to stay out of the matter, of course, I will keep it secret and not divulge a word." In the past, when the kings wanted to kill King Ning, I just passed the message on my behalf, did not listen to their plans, did not send armor soldiers to participate in it, and did not leak secrets to King Ning. ”

"The King of Shu really has no intention of getting involved in this matter? Staying out of the situation is the least dangerous, and the reward you get after the fact is also the least. ”

"I haven't even gotten an inch of land in Yizhou, it's enough for me to be busy over there, and I don't want to ask for more rewards."

Xu Ji got up and arched his hand: "Okay, I believe that the King of Shu will keep it secret." I have a word, I don't know if the king of Shu is willing to listen? ”

"King Wu's good words, I listen to every word."

"If you want to go to Yizhou, there is no good opportunity, the sooner the better. The East is a land of non-existence, once you fall in, there is no time to get out. And the general led his troops to the west, and the place he went to was either Hanzhou or Yizhou, and the mountains and rivers of the two states were connected, and if the general got one place, he would definitely peep into the other place. The king of Shu is late and will gain nothing. ”

Gan Zhao bowed deeply, "If I get Shu, I must thank King Wu again, but I don't know when King Wu will be able to go west to meet." ”

"If I don't go, Shu will be safe, and if I go, there will be war, so it's better for me not to go."

Gan Zhao smiled: "Also, the king of one side, how can there be a reason to go to the other side alone?" Anyway, I am grateful to King Wu, others have won the world, I want to wait and see for a while, if it is King Wu, I will give Yizhou away. ”

Whether these words are sincere or not, Xu Ji thanked him.

On the way back to Ma Wei's camp, Xu Ji judged the kings in his heart, and finally felt that he deserved the Eastern Capital more.
