(Thanks to the reader for the "big footboard" for the red tip.) Ask for a subscription and ask for a monthly pass. )

The camp looks small, it can accommodate six or seven thousand people, the interior is clearly demarcated, and there are many flags of various colors but not chaotic, even the officers and soldiers rarely see such a neat camp.

"King Wuyue's camp is occupied by officers and soldiers?" Gan Zhao and the others had all their faces pale, and a few people looked at Xu Ji, thinking that they had been tricked into a trap by him.

"Don't worry......" Xu Ji was also shocked in his heart, and was about to approach the camp alone to observe, when there was a sound behind him, and the other people turned the horse's head, and even he could not keep calm this time.

Dozens of horsemen came out of nowhere, blocking the retreat.

These people did not wear scarves on their heads, or top pockets, or bald heads and buns.

"Why did the Descendant come to us?" One of the people on the other side asked coldly.

Gan Zhao knew this person, his heart was slightly wider, and he smiled and said, "Brother Luo, you don't recognize me?" ”

"I recognize, but I have a military life, and I don't care about old friendships."

Gan Zhao was a little embarrassed and looked at the "leader" Xu Ji.

Xu Ji was also a little embarrassed, if Gan Zhao and the others died or were imprisoned because of him, it would make him feel embarrassed, so he slapped his horse forward.

He also recognized this "Brother Luo", and used to exchange names, "Luo Qi'er, I'm back to see King Wu Yue." ”

"Hey." Luo Qi'er raised the lance in his hand, and aimed the tip of the lance at Xu Qi's heart, "You change your surname, I change my name, and my name is Luo Hanqi now." ”

"Congratulations." Xu Ji arched his hand.

"Do you know where my lance came from?"

Xu Ji shook his head, only remembering that the last time they met, this person did not have a long soldier in his hands.

"This is one of the thirty-six lances made by the Emperor of All Things by summoning the world's fine craftsmen, and King Wu Yue got it and gave it to me with his own hands, and the gold will not be exchanged."

"Congratulations." Xu Ji had to give up his hand again, not understanding what the other party meant by saying this.

Luo Hanqi paused for a moment, "Because of you, I just lost this long lance to Liu Busheng." ”

"Me? Liu Busheng? ”

"yes, you should remember him, right? The strongest of us. ”

"Remember, the good man who makes the double sword." Xu Ji only had a vague impression, and only remembered it after being reminded by the other party.

"He's good at using two knives, but he wants to take my lance, all because you're back."

Xu Ji understood, Luo Hanqi thought that he would not dare to show up again, so he made a bet with someone, and the bet was the long lance in his hand.

"The Emperor of All Things has thirty-six lances, and Brother Luo is brave, and he can win one more shot."

Luo Hanqi snorted and turned his gaze to Gan Zhao, "Gan Siku, what are you doing here?" ”

Gan Zhao has never said anything about his former position, and it turned out to be just a small official in charge of the warehouse.

"This ......" Gan Zhao vaguely felt that it was wrong.

"I asked them to come with me, and I brought a message from the King of the Mortals." Xu Ji rushed to the road.

If Xu Ji came alone, Luo Hanqi categorically didn't believe this sentence, but he was accompanied by Gan Zhao, so he couldn't believe it, "You...... Come into camp with me. ”

On the way to the camp, Gan Zhao approached Xu Ji and asked in a low voice, "Doesn't Xu Gongzi know the changes here?" ”

"King Wu Yue should have just changed banners." Xu Ji said vaguely, "The grace of Gan Commander escort will never be forgotten." ”

Gan Zhao smiled reluctantly and didn't ask any more.

There was a person standing at the gate of the camp, with his hands on his waist, with a smile on his face, "Haha, this is not Brother Xu Ji, he is finally back, I have been looking forward to you for a long time." ”

Luo Hanqi stabbed sharply, was inserting himself into the dirt of the man's footsteps, and said coldly, "Here you go." ”

Liu Busheng is not tall, but he is extremely strong, he stretched out his hand to pull out the long lance, slapped it twice, and praised: "The things of the Emperor of All Things are really good." Thank you. He said to Xu Ji again: "I will invite you to drink later." ”

Luo Hanqi and Liu Busheng are both Ning Bao'er's old subordinates, Gan Zhao and others naturally recognize them, and when they saw that the two of them really knew Xu Ji, they felt a little relieved, but when they heard these two people talk, they both faintly felt that something was wrong.

Everyone waited under the camp gate, listening to Luo and Liu's bickering, and it didn't take long for a soldier to come and report that King Wu Yue asked Gan to lead and Xu Gongzi into the tent.

At least the camp is still owned by Ning Bang'er.

There is a big tent in the middle of the camp, surrounded by flags, a flag at the door is particularly eye-catching, nearly two feet from the ground, red flags, embroidered with two big black characters - hugguan.

Gan Zhao looked at Xu Ji and asked what these two words meant, but Xu Ji pretended not to notice.

The tent was wide, but the layout was very simple, there was nothing on the ground, and there were no guards to stand, and there was a king of Wuyue sitting empty.

Ning Bao'er was still wearing old armor, but he had a new pair of boots on his feet, his head was not empty as before, and he was not wearing the helmets of officers and soldiers, but he was wrapped in the headscarf of the Descendant Army, and there was only one swastika on it.

Gan Zhao breathed a sigh of relief again, but Xu Ji breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward and bowed, "I'm back." ”

Ning Bao'er first nodded to Gan Zhao to fulfill the courtesy of the deceased, and then said to Xu Ji: "What about the soldiers? ”

"Where's Mavey?"

The two looked at each other, no one refused to back down, Gan Zhao haha, and interjected: "The word 'hugguan' outside is the new name of King Ning, who gave it to you?" It's really good. ”

"Well, it's been changed for a few days, and in the future, my name will be 'Wuyue Wang Ning Baoguan', and the new name is given by Ma Wei, and he is still alive."

Gan Zhao didn't know who Ma Wei was, so he couldn't interject.

Xu Ji arched his hand and said: "Hundreds of thousands of descendant troops are stationed in Linhe Town, and 50,000 Jinyang soldiers are now in the city. ”

For him, the numbers are meaningless, just say it casually.

"Hey, I've fought two battles with the Incarnation Army, and you want to lure me into a third fight?"

"I came from Linhe Town, with a message from the incarnation king: King Wuyue can keep the king's title and go to the fiefdom within five days, and he must not stay here."

Ning Baoguan's eyes widened slightly, and he beckoned to Gan: "Really? ”

"The words of the incarnation king." Gan Zhaodao.

"How could Xue Liu change his mind?" Although Ning hugged his head and wore a swastika scarf, he had no respect for the incarnated king, and called his old name "Xue Liu".

"King Ning's advisers have the ability, it was this Xu Gongzi who persuaded Xue Zu to make peace between the two families."

Ning Baoguan first sneered, then laughed, stood up, and walked in front of the two, "See my camp?" ”

Both of them nodded, puzzled.

"The imperial court has named me the general of Zhenhe, and these tents, armor, flags, grain and grass are all rewards from the imperial court."

Gan Zhao bowed his head and was silent, Xu Ji said: "The imperial court does not have the title of 'Zhenhe General', and it is temporarily made up to coax the king. ”

"But things are always real, aren't they?"

"Fishing bait, what is the celebration?"

"I'm hungry, I have to eat everything, I don't care if he bait or not."

"Is the king full?"

Ning Baoguan was slightly stunned, and said slowly: "I'm not full, I'm not even full, I'm still hungry." ”

Gan Zhao also understood, and said with a smile: "Even if we accept Zhao'an, the court will not treat us as its own, how can we be full?" King Ning wears an old scarf on his head, and he must still miss the old feelings. ”

Ning Baoguan took off his turban and held it in his hand to watch, "Where is Patriarch Maitreya?" Why is it so slow to appear? ”

Gan Zhao said: "We waited in Qinzhou to start an incident as a puppet, although we have been defeated repeatedly, but we have not fallen so far, without the secret protection of Maitreya Patriarch, how can we get this great achievement?" ”

Ning Baoguan put on his headscarf again, "What about my wife and children?" ”

"It's all in Linhe Town, as long as King Ning agrees to make peace, on the day when he pulls out troops to Jiangdong, Xue Zu will return his sister-in-law, mother and son, and there is no shortage of one."

Ning Baoguan circled around Xu Ji for half a circle, and still spoke to Gan Zhao when he spoke, "Tell the incarnation king that accepting the recruitment of officers and soldiers is just my temporary plan, and I am still the king of Wuyue in the incarnation army - as long as he is willing to admit this royal title." After eight days, I will go east, and I will not return to the west, and during this period, everyone will draw a ridge as a boundary, and if I don't go over, you will not come. If my wife and children are short of one, even if they are missing a finger, or if they are humiliated by anyone, don't blame me for repenting, my husband is alive, and if there is kindness, there will be revenge. ”

"Eight days? I can promise for Xue Zu first, if there is no objection, let's make an alliance with blood and worship the Buddha. ”

"Whatever you want."

"Then I'll go back first."

"Don't worry. Liu Busheng! Ning Baoguan shouted.

Liu Busheng entered the tent, still holding the long lance in his hand.

"Treat Brother Gan for me, good wine and meat, he is still his own brother."

Liu Busheng grinned and said: "It's still easy to get along with the brothers in the past, Gan Siku, come on, let's get drunk and rest." ”

Willing to give up, Xu Ji also gave up, Ning hugged Guan and said: "You stay." ”

There were no outsiders in the tent, Ning hugged Guan and sat back on the chair, silent for a long time, did not look at people, Xu Ji did not squeak, and looked at the other end.

"How do you know I want to make peace?" Ning cupped his head and retracted his gaze and asked.

"The world is not peaceful, it is not suitable for internal fighting, the king must understand this principle, the name of the king, obtained by the army of the descendants, fighting with it, no matter whether it wins or loses, it will be detrimental to the reputation of the king."

"The thing I hate most in my life is that someone else does it for me."

"What I see is occasionally the same, whether it is peace or war, it is still decided by the king alone, and I put my life in the hands of the king, without regret or complaint."

Ning Baoguan laughed, "Reader, haha, reader." What's going on with Jinyang Bing? Look at you, these things are hidden, right? ”

"If they don't ask, I won't tell."

"Hey, Gan Zhao was smart and confused for a while, and he was actually deceived by you. The Jinyang soldiers really went south? ”

"It's on the way, and you can reach Yingcheng within three or five years." Xu Ji speculated so, but his tone was extremely certain.

"What is Shen Zhi's intention?"

"Watch the battle, choose the opportunity to move."

Ning Baoguan scolded a swear word, "Look at the fart, there are more and more officers and soldiers, even if I make peace with the Descending Army, I am not an opponent of officers and soldiers, Jinyang soldiers are going to take advantage of the fire to rob." ”

"Otherwise, Shen Mushou once had a move to resist the order, but the reverse form has been revealed, and he cannot be trusted by the imperial court, and the Jinyang soldiers are more willing to see the defeat of the officers and soldiers, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, they will definitely participate in the war."

"Where is the hope? I couldn't see a single hair. ”

"Together, we are strong, and we are weak." Xu Ji improvised, and talked about the benefits of dividing the kings to the incarnated king, and the necessity of uniting Ning Baoguan Zeli.

"How? Xue Liu and I are both from the same background, so we can make peace. With Shen Zhi, there is nothing to say. ”

"The king accepts the court's recruitment for a while, why don't you stop doing a momentary plan and call Shen Mushou a minister?"

Ning Baoguan scolded again, "Lao Tzu is the king of Wu Yue, even if he is low Xue Liu, who let him be the first to get into trouble, what is Shen Zhi?" Just a shepherd, let King Wu Yue be a minister? ”

"Shen Mushou will soon be king. Besides, a momentary plan is used for a while, the Central Plains melee, the sooner the king gets out, the better, only by occupying Jiangdong, can he be qualified to win the world, if he sticks to this square inch, even if he wins a big victory, can the king hold it? ”

Ning Baoguan was silent for a moment, "How do I know if you're thinking about me or you're playing tricks on me?" ”

"With the wisdom of a king, be a wise and loyal traitor."

"Haha, I do know that you are disloyal, but you are not traitorous either. Okay, I'll give you a chance, if you can really pinch the three families together and get through the difficulties together, even if you have the ability, you can give whatever you want. ”

"I don't want anything more than to ask where Ma Wei is now?"

"I can't imagine that you are still a person who values righteousness. It was Ma Wei who came up with the idea to let me accept Zhao'an, but he was not here and went to Mengjin. ”

"Meng Jin?"

"He volunteered, saying that he wanted to take Meng Jin and dedicate it to me, so I gave him two hundred people and asked him to try."

The two cities in the north and south of Mengjin are impregnable, even if there are 2,000 or 20,000 people, they may not be able to capture them, and Ma Wei only brings 200 people, which is tantamount to sending them to death.
