Hearing that Shuang Di was speechless, Zhang Xun was very anxious, grabbed Xiao Shi's shoulder and asked, "How is she?!" Can it be cured? ”

"Whether it can be cured depends on how long I, the doctor, can live, General Zhang keeps saying that he wants to kill me, how can I treat Sister Shuangdi when I die?"

Zhang Xun let go of his hand, pushed Xiao Shi out of the way half a step, and then pointed at Xiao Shi and said, "Xiao Shi, listen, you must cure the frost disease!" Otherwise......"

"How else? Haha, okay, okay, General Zhang, we are brothers in the same sect, why bother fratricidal? Don't worry, I'll do my best to heal her. Xiao Shi walked away a few steps, pointed to a huge wooden box stacked on the side, and said, "In addition, these are the ones that Frost asked me to pass on to you." ”

"What is this?" Zhang Xun was puzzled.

"Do you remember the seal carving in the secret room of the Yue Nu clan? Those wisdoms that transcend their time. Frost memorized the 'Li' scroll in the sea of fire, and then spent another year sorting it out, well, that's it. If it weren't for this, how could she be speechless? ”

Zhang Xun opened the box and saw that there were hundreds of bamboo slips stacked inside, and he had mixed feelings in his heart, so he picked up one of the scrolls and gently stroked the delicate handwriting on it.

Two hours later, in the camp of the Chinese army, all the generals were gathered in front of the sand table to discuss the war.

Zhang Xun looked around, but never saw Ji Zheng's figure. Seeing that the time for the council was approaching, he couldn't hold it back, so he walked up to Xiao Shi and asked, "Xiao She, where is Ji Zheng?" Didn't he come? ”

Xiao Se narrowed his eyes and smiled ghostly, "He is the general of the Yue Kingdom, why didn't he come?" Besides, wasn't the roster of our generals already reported to General Zhang? ”

"I know he's leading the troops, but what about the others?"

"Hehe, then I don't know, did I sleep? After all, we had a bad luck in the division, and we encountered unlucky ghost weather, and we hurried into the Qi country in the past two days, and I was tired to death, and I almost didn't get up today. ”

Zhang Xun nodded and didn't ask any more.

At this time, the big tent opened a corner, and Zhang Xun hurriedly looked over, but the person who came in was not Ji Zheng, but King Wu.

The generals immediately quieted down and saluted King Wu, who sat down on the throne and motioned for the generals to sit down, and then King Wu looked around and said to the generals, "Let's start the discussion." ”

As soon as the words fell, the big tent was opened again, and a general walked into the big tent, and the general saluted to King Wu and said, "General Ji Zheng is late." ”

King Wu nodded and motioned for Ji Zheng to hurry up and sit down.

Ji Zheng was dressed in green clothes, and he was wearing jet-black iron armor outside the green clothes, he strode forward, the armor rubbed a crisp sound, and the wide cloak was gently raised, revealing the sword on his waist, which was the Chongli sword that Zhang Xun had created for him.

Ji Zheng held his head high, his eyes always fixed on the front, he walked straight to the seat, lifted his armor and knelt down. When he sat down diagonally opposite Zhang Xun, he finally couldn't escape. For the first time in five years, he met Zhang Xun's eyes, and he found that there seemed to be tears flashing in Zhang Xun's eyes.

Ji Zheng's breathing became short, and the sound of his heartbeat even echoed in his ears. Although he imagined the scene of his reunion with Zhang Xun countless times, he couldn't make up the words at the time of the reunion after all. This morning, when the guards went to report, he panicked and hurriedly hid to order Xiao to save the scene. In fact, he really wanted to hand over the scroll that Shuang Tu had entrusted him with his hands to Zhang Xun, but he didn't know why, he just couldn't do it. Even just now, he quietly hid outside the big tent and waited until the meeting began to enter, perhaps only this scene is the best reunion.

However, Ji Zheng didn't know that from the moment he entered the big tent, Zhang Xun's world had become gray. Except for him, everyone else, even the high-ranking King Wu melted into the gray background.

The council was going on, Zhang Xun and Ji Zheng looked at each other, thirteen years of acquaintance, five years of parting, and all kinds of things flashed in their minds.

At that time, the young Ling Yunzhi helped the world to help the people.

The battlefield brews the blood king drunk, and I don't know why it fails.

Zhang Xun finally held back his tears, his emotions gradually calmed down, and his red eyes returned to their original state.

At this time, he heard King Wu asking him about the battle plan, so he got up and saluted King Wu, and then walked to the sand table and said to everyone: "Since our army invaded the Qi State, in less than ten days, it has captured the second city of Boying with small casualties. Although the start was smooth, it was largely due to the fact that the people of Qi had no intention of defending the city. The defense of the second city of Boying was weak, and our army was menacing, so the Qi people deliberately gave up Boying and retreated the main force to the hinterland, with the intention of conserving strength and preparing to block our army at Ailing. ”

Zhang Xun pulled out the blazing sword at his waist, pointed to the sand table and said: "This place is called Ailing, the mountain is steep, and the earth veins are continuous. The whole Ailing is like a flat gourd, our army is stationed in the west, and the enemy army is stationed in the east. At the waist of the gourd is a long and narrow pass, called Wing Valley, which is the only way on both sides. If our army wants to enter the hinterland of Qi, it can only pass through here, but the wing valley is narrow and steep, and the vegetation on both sides is abundant, and it is very easy to set up an ambush. Moreover, the people of Qi also built a city pass in the Wing Valley, which can be said to be a pass that cannot be opened. ”

King Wu frowned, stared at the sand table and asked, "Can the whole army pull out and make a detour?" ”

"No, my 160,000 army has traveled a long way, and the grain and grass are only enough to last for three months, and if the whole army goes around, it will take at least a month to go around and enter the hinterland of Qi State. And during this period, the people of Qi will inevitably find out the dynamics of our army. At that time, the people of Qi will only need to wait for work, and they will be able to beat us down. ”

"So what do you do now?"

Zhang Xun thought for a moment and said: "The new defeat of the Qi State, although the main force has been preserved, the number of troops is only 100,000, and almost all of them are stationed in Yigu Pass. If we divide 20,000 elites and travel lightly, we can bypass Yigu Pass and reach the hinterland of Qi in ten days, and then 20,000 elites will directly attack Linzi, the capital of Qi. It is difficult for the reserve forces of the Qi State to be mobilized and assembled in a short period of time, so they can only rely on the main force of Yigu to rescue, once the main force comes back, our army outside the pass will take advantage of the situation to attack Yigu, which should have a great chance of winning. ”

King Wu nodded, but there was still some hesitation in his expression, "Is there a better way?" ”

Zhang Xun shook his head and said, "That's the best strategy that the minister can think of." ”

King Wu raised his head and looked at the other generals, "Who has other ideas?" ”

The generals, you look at me, I look at you, and they all shook their heads and were speechless.

"Okay, so be it. It's just that the uncertainty of this strategy is still too great......"

At this moment, Ji Zheng suddenly got up and saluted: "The last general has something to say." ”

King Wu looked at Ji Zheng, a trace of strangeness flashed in his eyes, of course he remembered this person, when the three of them just came to Wu Kingdom, their master Yan Lingyu wrote to ask him, hoping that he could reuse these three brothers. The three brothers are indeed talented, and he intended to use them heavily, but Ji Zheng has not been recommended for a long time, and he has no credit for proportion, so he has never been able to get the official position he deserves. Later, because of Huang Yun's slander, Ji Zheng left Wu State, although he was responsible for Hana's death, but for a king, what is the life and death of a woman of different races? Ji Zheng may have hatred for him, but so what? He is the king of Wu who is about to become the overlord of the world, so let Ji Zheng hold a grudge.

King Wu immediately smiled contemptuously and said with a little disdain: "General Ji, let's talk about it." ”

Ji Zheng walked to the sand table, and first saluted Zhang Xun: "General Zhang." ”

Zhang Xun was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly returned the salute: "General Ji." ”

Then Ji Zheng stood beside Zhang Xun, pulled out the Chongli sword at his waist, pointed to the sand table and said: "The wing valley is narrow and steep, and it is indeed a one-man pass, but this kind of terrain has advantages and disadvantages for the defending side. ”

Zhang Xun looked at Ji Zheng, the two of them finally stood together so closely again, and remembered that when they were in Yiyang Village, they were like this in front of a sand table made of several stones to study the strategy of dealing with the Yin soldiers. At that time, Ji Zheng held the blazing sword and pointed out tactics on the stone, just like today.

King Wu was curious and asked, "Disadvantage?" What are the disadvantages of this terrain for the defenders? Tell me about it. ”

Ji Zheng pointed his sword at the Wing Valley and continued: "The Wing Valley is so narrow, it is difficult for our army to pass through, but how many troops can the Qi army deploy in this narrow Wing Valley? I estimate that the strength of the Qi army in Yigu is at most 3,000, and the remaining main force is still concentrated in Yigu Pass. If our army forcibly launches an attack on the Wing Valley, regardless of casualties, I assume that at the cost of a maximum of 30,000 men can take the Wing Valley. Then our army relied on the Yigu Valley to launch a decisive battle with the Qi army in the Guannai, and then it was easy to take the entire Ailing with superior forces. ”

As soon as these words came out, the big tent was suddenly boiling, and all the generals were discussing.

"30,000?! We have just invaded the country of Qi, and there are still many battles to be fought in the future, and we will lose 30,000 people when we come up, how can we fight this battle?! ”

"That's it! The use of such tactics will only damage the momentum of our army! ”

"Hehe, 30,000? You are the latest to come to Yueguo, and there are only 20,000 people in total! Hmph, it's not enough to send you to death! ”

Ji Zheng didn't look at the generals behind him, but just turned around and stared at King Wu.

King Wu laughed: "Hahaha, what do I think about being General Ji, it turns out that this is such a strategy." No, no, it's not a strategy at all, it's just brute force! Hehe, the barbarians of Yue Guo are suitable for this style, hmph, fortunately, I didn't reuse you at the beginning, otherwise I would have sent the soldiers to you to death. ”

Ji Zheng didn't respond, just leaned over and saluted King Wu.

Zhang Xun stared at Ji Zheng from the side, he saw that a shallow smile seemed to appear on the corner of Ji Zheng's mouth, he was puzzled, in his impression, Ji Zheng would never use such a brutal strategy. However, Zhang Xun didn't know that since Ji Zheng got "Quance" from the old man, his way of using troops has long been different from what it used to be, the so-called avenue is simple, and the really clever strategy is sometimes so brutal and direct.

King Wu waved his hand to the generals and signaled everyone to be quiet, and then King Wu ordered: "According to the strategy that General Zhang said, order 20,000 elites, and General Zhang will personally lead the troops, go around the hinterland of Qi State, and directly attack the capital Linzi!" ”

"Whoa!" Zhang Xun saluted and received the order.

King Wu looked at Ji Zheng contemptuously, shook his head and smiled: "General Ji, you go with General Zhang to see how your brother fights, and I will help Gou Jian train the generals." ”

"Whoa." Ji Zheng also bowed calmly.

In the evening, Ji Zheng accompanied Zhang Xun for the last inspection, and the 20,000 elites were ready, just waiting for the sun to rise the next day, and then they made a detour and marched to the hinterland of Qi.

Ji Zheng said to Zhang Xun: "Brother Xun, it's not early, we have to get up early tomorrow to hurry, let's go back and rest." ”

Zhang Xun nodded first, but he was very hesitant, he paced, looked at Ji Zheng with some expectation, and said, "Xiao Ji, the two of us haven't drunk together for five years." I have a pot of cherished silk wine, and I have never been willing to drink it, and I have always wanted to drink it with you when I see you again. Well...... Tonight, will you take two sips with me? ”

Ji Zheng shook his head, "In the past five years, if it wasn't for official business, I wouldn't drink at all, at first because of a wrist injury, and then I simply quit." ”

"Injury?" Zhang Xun grabbed Ji Zheng's wrist and saw the shocking scar on his wrist through the campfire. Zhang Xun gently stroked Ji Zheng's scar, and said distressedly: "Are you okay now?" Does it still hurt? ”

Ji Zheng shook his head, "It doesn't hurt, it's just that the martial arts are basically abolished, at most you can only dance the sword, and you can't use your strength at all when you chop and slash." ”

Zhang Xun grabbed Ji Zheng's wrist and refused to let go for a long time, he lowered his head, and it took a while to calm down, "Then let's play a game of chess, I haven't played chess with you for five years, I don't know which of the two of us is more sophisticated, and it is possible that the two of us are still the same as back then, two stinky chess baskets, haha." ”

Ji Zheng smiled and nodded, "Okay." ”

The two set up a chessboard in the tent, and the candles fought in black and white, and the dogs and teeth were staggered, and before they knew it, it was the middle of the night. Zhang Xun threw in the towel and exclaimed: "Xiao Ji's chess skills have really made great progress!" I'm obviously not an opponent anymore. Admire, admire! ”

Ji Zheng got up and saluted, "Brother Xun, it's not too early, let's rest, there is still a long way to go tomorrow." ”

"Don't you want another plate?" Zhang Xun is obviously not finished yet.

Ji Zheng shook his head, "Sleep, if you don't have a good spirit tomorrow, how can you bring these 20,000 elites?" ”

"That'...... Hey, okay then......" Zhang Xun lowered his head, as lost as a child.

"Farewell." Ji Zheng said, turned around and prepared to leave.

Zhang Xun also got up to salute back, and when Ji Zheng opened the camp tent and was about to go out, Zhang Xun suddenly stepped forward and suddenly grabbed Ji Zheng's wrist.

Ji Zheng's wrist was grabbed like this, and a sharp pain suddenly came from the scar, he frowned, and finally carried it.

"Don't go...... Stay with me, just like you used to ......."

Ji Zheng smiled slightly, looked at each other, and was speechless for a long time.
