"I also understand if you don't want to take care of Shuicheng." Geng Shu said, "You don't have to force it to stay. If you want to be in the country, you can leave on your own. The members of the royal family will stop at Yubi Pass. I will write a letter, and then I will be incorporated into Princess Wuying's team and serve them, the same is true."
No one spoke.
After taking a shower, Jiang Heng came over with a pair of thongs in leather sandals, his hair still half wet. He glanced at everyone and saw that there were five people in the hall, sitting in four rows. The points were correct, Geng Shu was sitting upright when he was in the meeting, and they were also sitting upright.
Jiang Heng sat on the couch with a strange expression on his face.
"What are you talking about?" Jiang Heng said.
"It's nothing." Geng Shu replied, "Do you want to help me plan the roadmap for the attack? Draw it."
"I'll take a look first," Jiang Heng said, unfolding the picture of Zhaoshui, "Go ahead and leave me alone."
Geng Shu instructed the generals again, "I'll give you one night to think about it today."
"I'll follow His Royal Highness," someone immediately said, "I won't leave."
Geng Shu looked as usual, as if it was a painful decision, and nodded.
He said again, "I'll follow Your Highness too, it's boring to go."
Jiang Heng raised his eyes and glanced at the crowd, with meaning in his eyes, guessing what Geng Shu was talking about. After a while, everyone expressed their opinions, and none of the two commanders were willing to leave.
"Very bad." Geng Shu said, "Then go and ask your subordinates. The news will not be leaked for the time being. What do you think about the attack on Zhaoshui City?"
Jiang Heng held the picture and leaned sideways on Geng Shu's lap, in front of the generals.
Geng Shu touched his ankle, glanced at Jiang Heng, and looked a little uncomfortable.
"No idea," said Captain Wan, "it's still the same as before, listen to His Highness."
"That's not right," Jiang Heng said.
When Geng Shu was about to say "then let's go", he heard the words and stopped, thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Yes, it doesn't work that way."
Jiang Heng raised his eyes, looked at Geng Shu with intent in his eyes, raised his hand and touched his ear, Geng Shu quickly covered it, and said in a low voice, "My subordinates, don't make a fool of yourself."
All the generals got up. Although they had little contact with Jiang Heng before, they knew that he had a strong relationship with Geng Shu, and no one cared.
Geng Shu naturally understood what Jiang Heng was referring to. He learned from Juicong to lead troops to fight, and naturally he also learned about Juicong's manners and how to fight a battle. Juicong never consulted his subordinates for advice and formulated plans. You can execute it in the future and go your own way. This will cause all the soldiers to become chess pieces. Once Juicong makes a mistake, it is very easy to cause the entire army to collapse.
"If not, what should I do?" Geng Shu asked Jiang Heng.
Jiang Heng took the picture, turned his head and said, "I will think about it separately at night, and we can discuss it. We can come up with a battle plan tomorrow morning. We can talk about three or five together, or we can talk about it individually. place."
"Did you hear that?" Geng Shu asked the crowd again.
Everyone nodded, and Geng Shu finally said, "Fuck!"
The movements were uniform, and the commanders stood up, saluted, and dispersed out of the hall.
"You don't have to worry about war."
After the people dispersed, Geng Shu changed his posture, made Jiang Heng's pillow more comfortable, and lowered his head and said to him.
"I take care of your injury." Jiang Heng looked up at him.
Geng Shu wanted to bow his head and kiss him, but resisted the move, licked his lower lip, turned his head, and said, "It's already been too many."
"Don't be an assassin on the battlefield," Jiang Heng said.
Geng Shu said, "I will write a letter and ask Jie Gui to come and protect you."
Jiang Heng thought for a while and said, "Your father knows about this, and he will..."
"Let Juicong go wild," Geng Shu said, "I don't care, didn't you see the attitude of Wanchang and Qianchang? They are all willing to follow me."
Jiang Heng said: "But in this way, Jie Gui will also be implicated."
Jiang Heng didn't want to involve more people because of their situation. What's more, even if Jie Gui knew the inside story, he had been protecting him. He was the queen mother's person, so he couldn't say a lot. .
"Then it's up to him to choose," Geng Shu said, "if he doesn't come, let Xiang Yu come over, and when he goes out, let him protect you... Let's talk about it first, I'll take you with me, It's just that you occasionally take care of someone you can't see, so you have to be very vigilant."
Jiang Heng was a little sad. Looking at Geng Shu, he suddenly felt a lot of pain. He had to do too much, not only to lead the army to fight, but also to keep his safety in mind.
"I won't leave you in Song County," Geng Shu panicked again, thinking that Jiang Heng would be wrong, and explained, "I didn't mean that."
Jiang Heng said sadly: "No, I... Instead, I think I should stay at home and not cause you trouble."
"How could it be?" Geng Shu asked in confusion, "I need you."
Jiang Heng fought alongside Geng Shu for the first time outside Luoyan City. He proved his ability. Of course, Geng Shu's strength was unprecedented.
"Really?" Jiang Heng looked at Geng Shu suspiciously.
Geng Shu nodded seriously, but Jiang Heng could see that he hoped that he could stay in the safest place, so that he could put aside all his doubts and fight seriously for their future.
"Why Xiang Yu?" Jiang Heng sat up, cheered up, and began to formulate a battle plan for Geng Shu, "Because of his martial arts, is he better than he looks?"
Geng Shu was thinking, when he heard the words: "You found it too?"
Jiang Heng hardly ever saw Xiang Yu make a move. It stands to reason that he is a general with decent skills. Xiang Yu's martial arts should be similar to Zeng Yu's, and he will never reach the realm of Geng Shu. Practice martial arts, and Geng Shu has been a genius in martial arts since he was a child. This is incomparable.
But that day, Xiang Yu passed through two rooms and subdued "Little Er" with almost no effort. The process of torture was even more tricky. His initial impressions were very different. This made Jiang Heng feel that Xiang Yuyi was not as simple as it looked on the watch.
"I just think," Geng Shu said reluctantly, "he won't hurt you."
Jiang Heng: "How do you see it?"
Geng Shu didn't want to talk about it anymore, because he found that Xiang Yu always liked to stare at Jiang Heng, and he liked the boy who looked like Jiang Heng. Although Jiang Heng always treated Xiang Yu with respect, after all It made Geng Shu not very happy.
Thinking of this, Geng Shu blamed himself a little bit, because Jiang Heng always loved Wu Jiwu when he treated him, and whoever treats Geng Shu, I will treat him.
Instead, what about yourself? Whoever treats Jiang Heng a little, Geng Shu wants to draw his sword and stab him.
This is too small, and Geng Shu knew it was wrong, but he couldn't help it.
Jiang Heng didn't expect to get any answers either. He looked at the picture, and then at Geng Shu.
"It's often said that the world is my home." Jiang Heng sighed softly again, "But why does it always make me feel like God is deliberately playing tricks on us, and there's not even a safe place to live?"
"It will be," Geng Shu said. "It will never be the same now as before. Trust my brother, Heng'er."
Three days later, when the plans of the thousands of commanders were summarized, Jiang Heng called Song Zou and listened to the detailed report.
Song County dispatched 28,000 troops, under the leadership of Geng Shu, to attack Zhaoshui City along the Shajiang River.
Prince An's navy sailed northward against the current and besieged the southern city of Liang. Jiang Heng thought at first that Geng Shu's actions were just slapping his head, which was too impulsive, but the more he thought about it in the past few days, the more clearly he realized—
In this war, they are almost certain to win! Geng Shu has never asked him about the situation in various countries, and that is precisely because he already knows the garrison strength of the five capitals and the six passes. War is like diplomacy, it affects the whole body at one stroke, and he is not inferior to Jiang Heng in terms of strategy.
The army of Ying State and Song County attacked Zhaoshui City in the south of Liang State. There were 20,000 troops stationed in the city. Can the Liang people save them? Help, where do you send troops from? Naturally, it is to mobilize the troops and horses of the capital to go south to relieve the siege. But the army was transferred away, and Anyang, the capital of the country, was bound to be empty. The Juicong stationed at Yubi Pass had already prepared to take Anyang directly.
"But you have to be Zheng Guo," Jiang Heng said. "Prince Ling won't sit idly by."
"He sent the French soldiers to Mount Wei," Geng Shu said, "I'm sure of it."
Geng Shu not only considered the checks and balances of the three kingdoms of Ying, Liang, and Yong, but also considered the kingdom of Zheng to the east of Laoshan. At that time, the kingdom of Zheng would not sit by and watch, and Prince Ling just wanted to bring troops to rescue the kingdom of Liang.
But as soon as Zheng Guo's troops were drawn, Ying Guo could leave Geng Shu to besiege and contain Zheng's army, and Prince An's main force could immediately turn around and attack the three cities of Xunyang.
"Originally, the Yong Kingdom did not dare to rashly move out of the pass to attack the Central Plains, because the barrier of Tong Pass blocked the generation. Once there was no one at home, Li Hong would lead the cavalry to cross the mountains and take advantage of the situation. Now, Luoyan has united the three tribes outside the Great Wall, not The danger of falling again." Geng Shu explained, "Ying Kingdom did not dare to go north rashly, and Dai Kingdom always looked at it from one side."
"Zheng State returned after fighting Yong," Jiang Heng nodded. "Because the three cities of Xunyang border Ying, I am still afraid."
"Yes." Geng Shu's mind has always been very clear, and he said, "There is only one variable in this battle."
Jiang Heng naturally knew what he was referring to—the army of Berkshire. The country of Ying dispatched the main force to conquer the country of Liang, what if the next generation went south
Song Zou said: "Combining with the news I heard not long ago, it is quite understandable."
Geng Shu and Jiang Heng looked at Song Zou together. Song Zou pondered for a moment and said, "At first, I could not judge the authenticity of the information..."

"It's okay," Jiang Heng said, "you just say it."
"Although Mr. Jiang went to Ying as a pledge in person," Song Zou said at last, "the alliance between the north and the south of Yong and Ying is not completely indestructible. According to our merchant's report, King Ying still has a secret with Dai Guo. protocol."
Instead, Geng Shu was relieved and nodded: "This makes sense. Only when we can solve our worries, Ying people dare to start a war."
Ying Guo did not give up the alliance with Dai Guo, and even in the two fronts of Ying Yong and Ying Dai, Jiang Heng still could not accurately judge who was Xiong Lei's friend and who was his enemy. In this way, the alliance between Xiong Lei and Li Xiao has not been invalidated due to his proton clause, and even Xiong An's future crown princess is most likely Ji Shuang.
Of course nothing can be said right now. Jiang Heng remembered what Xiang Yu said that day—there was no one in the royal family of the Ying Kingdom.
The foreseeable future is that Xiong Lei and Xiong An will most likely unilaterally tear up the agreement of one of them at the right opportunity. You must be very small, not to become the torn one.
"What else did you say?" Geng Shu gradually learned to look at people, especially the faces of advisors. Although Jiang Heng was his chief counselor, Song Zou was the person Jiang Heng listened to the most.
At this moment, Song Zou's expression was hesitant, and he obviously still had something to say.
"Speaking of which," Jiang Heng put away the picture and said to Song Zou, "Over the years, I have always thanked Mr. Song for taking care of our two brothers. We had a relationship in the past..."
Song Zou immediately said: "Lord Jiang said something, everyone is a courtier of the Jin court, why did you talk about 'taking care'? It's all for the emperor's entrustment before his death."
Jiang Heng knew that Song Zou was implying him that they all had the same purpose in what they did and how to do it. The first one could not be violated, that is, allegiance to the long-defunct Jin Dynasty. Get Song Zou's absolute loyalty.
"This subordinate just thinks," Song Zou thought for a while, and finally said cautiously, "someone has already planned to assassinate you, and it would be inappropriate for Lord Jiang to join the army again. …”
Geng Shu had already discussed this issue with Jiang Heng, he got up and replied, "Don't worry, I will look at him."
Song Zou said softly, "Excuse me for what I shouldn't say. The battlefield is changing rapidly. Who can be absolutely sure? If this is the case, it won't be outside Luoyan City..."
Song Zou's attitude has been very persistent. According to his past habits, he will never repeat the same words a second time.
Jiang Heng nodded and said, "Yes, you are right."
"Heng'er?" Geng Shu said.
"Let's be separated for a while, brother." Jiang Heng said seriously, "I will go to Jiangzhou to ensure wartime logistics for you."
Geng Shu was silent, they all knew that this was the best way, but Jiang Heng didn't want them to be separated, so Geng Shu would try his best to do whatever he said.
"Did you think about it?" Geng Shu asked.
Jiang Heng nodded and said, "This war will not last too long. It will end in three months at most."
Song Zou heaved a sigh of relief and nodded. Even if Jiang Heng stayed in Song County, he would be completely sure of the matter. But in the Ying royal family, there would be no problem. The fact that Geng Shu led his troops outside could also ensure Jiang Heng's safety.
In the end, Jiang Heng looked up at Song Zou and said, "Master Song, do you think... you can succeed?"
Song Zou said: "In the years since the melody of the world, the five kingdoms have formed a fragile balance of power. In the past, the emperor was still there, and the balance would collapse several times over the years, but they were both perilously and dangerously maintained. ."
"It started just a year ago," Song Zou said. "Starting with Li Hong's death, the balance was broken little by little. Now that I think about it, the Yong army stationed in this county will open a new century for the world. At the beginning of the change.”
Song Zou didn't answer correctly. Geng Shu had a bit of trouble understanding what he said, but Jiang Heng understood it. Song Zou couldn't judge what would happen next, but the move to break the game had already begun. Down the road, the balance that countries have struggled to maintain begins to spiral out of control, and every country will tear its face and devote all its strength to the war. The Great Controversy has come to an end, and the final decisive battle has begun.
This decisive battle may last for five or more years, but no matter who becomes the final winner, the division and rule of China will end immediately.
"Now that I think about it," Jiang Heng said, "Prince Taki asked his brother to capture Song County, and it was very wise to nail down this crucial son of a game-breaker in the Central Plains."
Geng Shu said casually, "It's just luck."
