The north and south banks of Mengjin together turned into a huge camp, full of people, livestock, simple tents and rough stoves. The smoke was choking the nose, the noise was constant, and the cries of children kept coming and going.

The soldiers and civilians of the Avatar Army were originally divided into two camps, but within a day they would be mixed together. No one could stop it, nor did they want to stop it. The leaders brought their families with them, and they had to allow their subordinates to go out of the camp to visit from time to time. own family.

There are narrow and winding paths left in the middle of the camp, barely suitable for horses to pass. Riders must control their horses carefully, otherwise they will easily hit a certain family's belongings, which will attract a large group of people to besiege them.

Guo Shifeng preferred to walk and whispered to Xu Chu beside him: "Is there any hope for such an army of descendants?"

The two of them were ordered to come to see King Jingshi first. To be precise, it was Guo Shifeng who was ordered and Xu Chu accompanied him. He has not yet seen Liang Wang Mawei.

The two of them each brought an entourage. Tang Weitian was very familiar with this kind of camp. Occasionally he would meet acquaintances and wave and say hello, but he still complained: "There are too many new people, and I don't even know them."

Judging from the size of the camp, it can accommodate at least 200,000 people. With the camps in the city and the south bank, the number of people can be doubled. The victory of the Advent Army obviously attracted many people to defect.

Xu Chu said: "There is always a reason for the World Army to become more and more prosperous."

"The greatest prosperity must inevitably decline, and this is what the King of the World is called." Guo Shifeng laughed and chatted all the way. When he was approaching the city gate, he reminded Xu Chu, "Winning the favor of the King of the World again is very important to King Liang. You and I If people work together, they can achieve great success, and it will be easier for me to talk to King Liang when I see him again."

Xu Chu nodded and thanked him, but felt a little lonely in his heart. It turned out that if he wanted to see Ma Wei, he had to make a contribution first.

The King who came to the world lived in a high building in the center of the small town. He liked this place. He was so high up that he could overlook the whole city and part of the outside of the city.

Guards were lined up inside and outside the building. The upstairs and downstairs were filled with looted armor, cloth, gold and silver jewelry. The King of the World was sitting on a chair, and two young women were kneeling on the ground and beating his legs.

Guo Shifeng had already sent someone to report, so he was summoned as soon as he entered the city. He and Xu Chu went upstairs and had to pass through two rows of swords and guns. The sharp blade was close at hand, and if you turned your head, you might be scratched.

The demeanor of the coming king was very different from before. Facing the salutes of the two envoys, he haughtily hummed and continued to let the woman beat her legs.

Just as Guo Shifeng was about to speak, a gun came across from beside him, signaling him to shut up. No one could speak without the King coming to the world asking.

After waiting for a long time, Xue Liujia slapped his thigh hard, frightening the two women to the ground. He stood up and strode to the envoy. He first looked at Guo Shifeng for a few times, and then looked at Xu Chu, "I seem to recognize you. "

"I, Xu Chu, went to Yecheng on the orders of the three kings..."

"Oh, it's you, kid. Why are you back? Where is the army in Jizhou? Where is Huangfu Jie and his father? Which one did you bring back?"

"I didn't bring anything back. The situation in Yecheng..."

Xue Liujia didn't let Xu Chu finish what he said, and turned around to look for it, "Where is my emperor-killing stick? Who hid it? I want to beat the treacherous minister!"

The "treacherous minister" obviously refers to Xu Chu. A guard found a stick from behind the chair, hurriedly came over and delivered it with one hand.

Xue Liujia took the stick and hit the guard on the head first, "Can't you hold my sacred weapon with both hands and show some respect?"

The guard held a spear in his other hand. He grinned in pain and did not dare to defend himself. He retreated to his original position and whispered to his companions.

Xue Liujia sighed, "My aunt's nephew and grandson, what can I do?" Suddenly he glared, "Xu Chu, you haven't accomplished anything, how dare you come back? Take my stick..."

Xu Chu took a step forward and approached Xue Liujia, making him unable to use his stick. He cupped his hands and said, "I have gained nothing. I have brought a large army for the king to drive."

Xue Liujia backed away, "Do you think I don't know? You ran to join that bastard Ma Wei and brought Liang Bing here to... stop!"

Xue Liujia took a step back, and Xu Chu took a step forward. Xue Liujia couldn't swing the stick in his hand, and he couldn't help but get angry.

Guo Shifeng stepped forward and said with a smile: "King Ancestor, please calm down and listen to the next three words. After listening, if King Ancestor is still not relieved, please beat me and me together."

Xue Liujia had already retreated to the chair, sat down, and hesitated for a moment, "Tell me, just three sentences, let's see what tricks you can come up with."

Xu Chu stepped back and stood side by side with Guo Shifeng.

Xue Liujia turned to the guards and whispered: "If we encounter this kind of situation in the future, can you have some eyesight and block it for me?"

Xue Liujia always used various swear words when he spoke, but the guards didn't care at all and kept nodding.

Guo Shifeng coughed and said: "The first sentence is that the ancestor of the king is in the Eastern Capital. Are all the officers and soldiers of the Eastern Capital defeated?"

"Whether he dies or not, if the Avatar Army can win the battle of Mengjin, it will naturally be able to capture the Eastern Capital in one fell swoop!"

Guo Shifeng smiled and said: "The second sentence, rumors say that the Jinyang Army defeated the officers and soldiers, and the Shenshi Army sat back and enjoyed the victory, but is it true?"

Xue Liujia stood up again and threw a stick. Guo and Xu dodged. The stick passed between them and fell to the ground. The guard opposite put down his spear and held the stick in both hands before the King of the World.

Guo Shifeng took the opportunity to say: "The third sentence, the last sentence."

Xue Liujia took the stick and wanted to hit him again. Hearing Guo Shifeng only say half a sentence, he couldn't help but said: "Say it."

"Your Majesty, please sit down. I dare to say that this last sentence is also the most important sentence."

Xue Liujia raised his foot and kicked a woman next to him to the ground, vented his anger, sat down and said: "The officers and soldiers were defeated by the World Army. We fought hard with the officers and soldiers for many days, and the Jinyang Army finally appeared. They are the ones who took advantage." people.”

Guo Shifeng bowed deeply and said, "The King of Liang also thought so, so he led his army south. Instead of crossing the river from the upper reaches to see Shen Bingzhou, he went straight to Mengjin to pay homage to his ancestor."

"He wants to worship me?"

"Exactly."

Xue Liujia thought for a while, "Is this the third sentence you said?"

"No, in the third sentence, I want to ask King Ancestor, who is closer to Dongdu, the Jinyang Army or the Jishi Army?"

"Of course it's the Jinyang Army, they... what do you want to say?" Xue Liujia already understood in his heart.

The three sentences only aroused the other party's interest. Guo Shifeng cupped his hands and said: "There are still two to three hundred thousand armored men in the Eastern Capital. The city is as high as the clouds and the pool is ten thousand feet deep. It can contain birds at the top and animals at the bottom. There are many people and soldiers in the city. , there is plenty of food, enough to hold on for five years. If I don’t destroy my own prestige, even though there are many soldiers and generals who are good at field battles but not good at attacking cities, and there are more people and less food, let alone five years, it is five months or one month. , I’m afraid I can’t hold on.”

"Let the Jinyang army attack the city first. It's their turn to contribute. I'll watch the battle from behind. If I can, I'll fight. If I can't, I'll take the people to look for food elsewhere and come back later."

"The Shen family father and son have great ambitions and regard themselves as a famous family. How can they be willing to be the vanguard of the siege for the ancestors? Once the ancestors occupy Mengjin, the Jinyang army will have worries about its future and will not dare to advance easily. If it continues to be delayed, the Eastern Capital will take advantage of it. If we have a chance to breathe again, it may lead to a big disaster.”

The Jinyang army made an appointment to attack the officers and soldiers from the side, but they were reluctant to take action. They waited until the officers and soldiers were frightened and routed before pursuing them. From then on, Xue Liujia understood that the Shen family father and son were not trustworthy and wanted to kill people with a borrowed knife. Fall into the World Army.

Mengjin won a great victory, and the Jinyang Army and the Shenshi Army shocked Luozhou, but they stopped advancing at the same time because of mutual distrust.

Xue Liujia pondered for a long time, "Do you have a way to let the Jinyang army attack Dongdu for me?"

"It's very simple. The Shen family and his son sit still because they are worried that the World Army will intercept them from behind. The ancestor's plan is to send a vanguard to approach the Eastern Capital. When the Shen family and his son see this, they will feel at ease and the army will follow. , In this way, great things can be accomplished. Before the end of winter, all the palaces in the Eastern Capital will erect the flags of the ancestors, and the gold, silver, and beauties everywhere will be enjoyed by the ancestors. "

"Haha, gold, silver, beauties, etc. are not what I like. Let's talk about it later. If I send out the vanguard, will the Shen family really follow up?"

Guo Shifeng handed over his hand again, "The Shen family and his son are eager to capture the Eastern Capital, how can they fall behind others? Besides, Mr. Xu is here. He is the most trusted adviser of the Shen family and his son. He goes there to persuade him and everything is possible."

Xue Liujia looked at Xu Chu again and said with a smile: "Master Xu is really willing to persuade the Shen family to attack Dongdu?"

"It is the wish of the Shen family to capture the eastern capital. I am just following the trend." Xu Chu wanted to see Shen Dan no matter what, so he followed Guo Shifeng's wishes.

Xue Liujia laughed, "Well... serve the wine! These are the two beauties I just collected. How about... you take Lehe Lehe away? Give them back to me tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

Of course Xu Chu and Guo Shifeng would not accept the unreal friendship between the ancestors and the king, and politely refused to leave. When they were about to go downstairs, Xue Liujia said loudly: "Is the King of Liang willing to be the vanguard?"

Guo Shifeng turned around and said: "It is the wish of King Liang to be a pioneer for our ancestors. He only laments that there are so few soldiers and generals that he may not be able to bear the trust of our ancestors."

"Haha, it's easy to say. There are only a few soldiers. I have plenty. I can give him hundreds of thousands."

After leaving the city, Xu Chu said: "Will King Liang really enter the city?"

Xue Liujia was jealous of talents, but always gave generous rewards before killing people. He allowed King Liang to enter the city, probably because he had murderous intentions.

Guo Shifeng said with a smile: "Don't worry, King Liang has his own way. The urgent task now is to let Liang Jun cross the river smoothly and join up with Jinyang Army. Brother Lao Chu will have to intervene on that side."

"It is my wish to unite all armies and defeat the Eastern Capital together."

Guo Shifeng smiled and cupped his hands, thanking Xu Chu on behalf of King Liang.

Half a day later, thousands of Liang troops arrived and communicated several times with the Advent Army. The camp outside the city made way for a wider passage, and the city gates were opened wide, allowing Liang Jun to pass without stopping. They went straight to the south bank and looked for them again. Another camp was built in the place, and the generals went to pay homage to the ancestor.

More than a dozen generals kowtowed downstairs, while Xue Liujia watched upstairs. The smile on his face gradually disappeared, and he loudly said to Guo Shifeng: "Where is Prince Liang? Why don't you want to see me in person?"

Guo Shifeng stood beside General Liang and replied loudly: "The King of Liang is very anxious. He has been crossing the river for a long time to survey the terrain and watch the enemy soldiers. After he has accomplished great achievements, he will come to see the ancestor again!"

Xue Liujia's teeth itched with hatred, but a smile appeared on his face again, "It's rare that King Liang has such a heart."

"The King of Liang asked his ancestors to help him with his divine power and divide his troops to follow each other!"

"It's easy to say, everything is easy to say." Xue Liujia waved his stick, which was regarded as a release of his divine power. As for dividing his troops, he had to think about it again.

Following the generals to the south bank, Guo Shifeng whispered: "The Jishi Army is nothing more than this, the Jinyang Army is difficult to deal with. Brother Chu needs to think of more ways."

Xu Chu nodded in agreement, knowing that he would become an "assassin associate" again. This time he was simply being used, and no one was willing to tell him the truth.
