Fu Qi and Jiang Shuan were talking when they heard a soldier running to report.
"General Jiang, Ambassador Xu Jiedu, please go there."
Jiang Shuan asked, "why is he looking for me?"
The soldier said he didn't know.
Jiang Shuan walked in the direction of the stairs. Fu Qi hesitated and followed up.
They came to Xu Ji's residence.
Before entering the door, Jiang Shuan suddenly lowered his voice and said three words to Fu Qi.
"Ten thousand people."
Fu Qiyi Leng: "what?"
Jiang Shuan didn't look back and went straight into the house.
At this time, Chang Yi has left. Xu Ji is drinking wine. It seems that he is in a good mood.
When he saw Jiang Shuan and Fu Qi coming, he took the initiative to say, "come on, come and have a drink."
Fu Qi reminded: "alcohol is forbidden in the army."
Xu Ji put his hand on it and said carelessly, "these rules are for the soldiers below. They don't work for masters like me."
Fu Qi frowned and disagreed with his statement.
When Xu Ji saw that neither of them drank or demanded, he said with a smile, "don't both stand and sit down and talk."
After the two sat down, Jiang Shuan asked, "what's the matter with Xu Jiedu calling the end of the general?"
Xu Ji took a sip of wine first, and then slowly said, "Chang Jiedu and I have decided to besiege the enemy in Xisha in Heifeng Valley in a month. That will be our final decisive battle, which is directly related to the final victory of the whole war. If we win, everyone will be happy. If we lose, our heads will fall to the ground. "
Neither Jiang Shuan nor Fu Qi spoke.
Seeing that they were not frightened, Xu Ji tutted and was dissatisfied. He put down his wine glass, touched his beard and said, "in order to win our army, I plan to send general Jiang to lead 2000 people deep into Xisha and lure the 400000 army led by King Huoluo to Heifeng valley."
Jiang Shuan still didn't speak.
Fu Qi was young and had little experience. At this time, he failed to calm down and stood up.
"I disagree!"
Xu Ji looked at him and said with a smile, "Shizi, this is the result agreed by me and Chang Jiedu envoy. Even if you are the supervisor, you don't have the right to talk about it?"
The main duties of supervising the army are logistical support and supervising the generals. They have no right to directly intervene in the war.
Fu Qi was too lazy to talk to him and asked bluntly, "I don't understand. Why do you have to choose general Jiang to perform this task? I wonder if you have a personal problem with him and want to take the opportunity to avenge yourself. "
In the face of his impolite question, Xu Ji smiled angrily: "hahaha, the prince is really joking. It is precisely because I like general Jiang's talent and think that only he is the most suitable for this task, so I specially selected him. This is my trust in him."
Then he looked at Jiang Shuan and asked meaningfully, "general Jiang, you must live up to my trust?"
Jiang Shuan asked, "what if I refuse to accept this task?"
Xu Ji leaned back, calm and calm, as if everything was under his control.
"General Jiang, you should know that the most important thing in the barracks is to obey orders. As the chief general, I now order you to perform the task of luring the enemy. If you refuse to accept it, you are violating the military order. What should you do if you violate the military order? "
Jiang Shuan calmly spit out three words: "there is no amnesty for killing."
Xu Ji smiled again, full of pride.
Now there are only two ways in front of Jiang Shuan, either accepting the task or being killed for violating the military order.
Jiang Shuan made a decision soon.
He arched at Xu Ji: "the end will be willing to accept this task."
Fu Qi opened his mouth and wanted to stop, but he didn't know what to say. Finally, he could only sigh heavily.
Xu Ji touched his luxuriant beard and smiled more and more proudly: "well, general Jiang is really a person who knows current affairs. The task of luring the enemy is up to you. Do it well. After we win a great victory, I will certainly ask the emperor for your merit!"
Anyone knows that once he takes over the task of luring the enemy, nine times out of ten he will come back dead. The so-called request for merit is just what Xu Ji said.
Jiang Shuan seemed to be half serious and said seriously, "if we can win, I hope Xu Jiedu will say a lot of good words for me in front of the emperor. It doesn't matter whether my official position can rise or not. I just hope the emperor can watch me risking my life to perform the task and give my daughter a title so that she can no longer be bullied in the future."
Xu Ji's mouth should be good, but he said in his heart, who cares who your daughter is when you die?!
Jiang Shuan added, "I have a small condition."
"You say."
"Two thousand people are too few. I want more people."
Xu Ji paused as he touched his beard; Squint at him: "how many people do you want?"
Jiang Shuan broke his fingers for a long time, and then said, "at least twenty or thirty thousand people."
Xu Ji refused without thinking: "no!"
Jiang Shuan asked, "why?"
Everyone knows that Jiang Shuan will never return this time, and the people who went with him will naturally come to an abnormal end. If he is allowed to take twenty or thirty thousand people at once, all of them will be folded under the iron hoof of Xisha, which will be a huge loss to southern Chu. Even if the southern Chu won the final victory in the future, with such a big loss, Xu Ji and Chang Yi's credit must be halved.
Xu Ji didn't want to eat the loss, but he couldn't say it clearly.
He said coldly, "there are only so many of us. You will take twenty or thirty thousand people at one breath. What do you want me and Chang Jiedushi to do? We don't have enough hands. How can we attack the enemy in Xisha from left to right? You can't do this! "
Jiang Shuan said bitterly, "but there are too few two thousand people. Even if such a few people appear in front of the king of Huoluo, he may not take it to heart. Maybe he will send ten thousand people to send us away. How can we carry out the task of luring the enemy at that time?"
"That's your problem. You should find a way to solve it."
"Why is this my problem? This is clearly the problem we face together. If this problem cannot be solved, my task will not be completed. At that time, it will affect the situation of the whole battlefield. If the final decisive battle deviates, who can bear the responsibility? Is that you? Or is it often frugal? "
Xu Ji couldn't answer.
When Fu Qi thought of what Jiang Shuan said before entering the door, he moved in his heart and opened his mouth in time to help round the scene.
"I think general Jiang is right. Two thousand people are really too few. This number can't attract the attention of King Huoluo. Of course, there are too many 20000 people. Why don't you take a step back and let's adjust the number to 10000? "
