Half an hour later, two Jin soldiers came into the tent and took Mu Dongbai down again. He would still be imprisoned in the dungeon, but no one knew that he had already made a secret agreement with Wu Shu. As for the specifics,
The content is related to the future civil society forces in Hebei Road, and even the civil society forces in the entire Song Dynasty.
As soon as Mu Dongbai left, a man walked in outside the tent, and it turned out to be Wanyan Zongwang, the commander-in-chief of the Right Route Army who had "disappeared" for a long time.
Wu Shu immediately stood up and respectfully called: "Brother!"
"Sit down." Wanyan Zongwang waved his hand and said with a frown, "Southern people are cunning and treacherous. Are you too hasty to bet your money on this kid?"
Wu Shu smiled and said: "Things have to be looked at from both sides. This guy is young, inexperienced and far from cunning, but his ambition is not small. In my opinion, it is still feasible." He paused and said, "
For me, it is nothing more than letting go of a dozen people. It is not difficult to catch him again, but if he can get to power with your help, it will be of great benefit to me."
Wanyan Zongwang pondered for a moment and nodded: "It's up to you. You've been smart since you were a child, and you think further than me. It's up to you to decide what to do. By the way, Zhao Gou has also been doing it for many days, so it's almost done.
?”
Wu Shu thought for a while, shook his head and said, "It is not advisable to rush the peace talks."
Wanyan Zongwang said: "You don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. I have tens of thousands of people and horses stationed here. It costs a lot for people to eat horse chews every day. If this matter can be solved, I can prepare the troops and horses in advance."
Wu Shu smiled and said: "Brother, although the Song people said they defeated this city, the domestic military strength should not be underestimated. If they find out that we are short of food and grass, they may have to fight back with troops and horses. Do you think this account is worth it?"
not worth?"
Wanyan Zongwang frowned and said, "Then what do you mean?"
Wu Shu said meaningfully: "I want to return Kang Wang Zhao Gou and let Zhao Ji have another son as a hostage."
"Give him back?" Wanyan Zongwang was even more puzzled, "What if Zhao Ji regrets and refuses to send anyone back after he returns to Bianjing?"
Wu Shu shook his head and said: "No, Zhao Ji is timid and cowardly. He is afraid that my army will continue to move south. As long as it does not affect his throne, he will not refuse any request at this time."
Wanyan Zongwang became interested: "Then what do you mean by sending Zhao Gou back?"
Wu Shu said: "Zhao Gou is different from the other kings of the Song Dynasty. He can be said to be strong-blooded and unruly. If he takes the lead in the peace talks, you and I will never gain much advantage. Besides, you and I can't do anything to him.
Is it possible to really kill him with one knife?"
Wanyan Zongwang nodded: "Well, that's true. I could see that guy the first day he came here. He has a stiff neck and he is an unconvinced boy."
Wu Shu smiled slightly: "So, if we return him, then the Great Song Dynasty will be interesting. I don't want to fight, but he wants to fight. The main warlords and the two factions in the court will be more clear.
Internal strife is bound to happen sooner or later. Brother, do you think this is an advantage or disadvantage to you and me?"
Wanyan Zongwang was stunned for a moment, then slapped his hands fiercely: "You have thought carefully, okay, let's do it like this, I will send someone to send the boy Zhao Gou back."
"No hurry!" Wu Shu stretched out his hand to stop him, "Zhao Gou is now alone. His close friends are dead and injured, and everyone else such as Zhang Bangchang and others are not on the same path as him, so if we keep him for a few more days,
, then let him suffer for a few more days."
Wanyan Zongwang immediately realized that Wu Shu's move was not to torture Zhao Gou, but to completely arouse his blood and anger. If he wanted to take revenge, he must first strengthen himself. If he had no soldiers or generals, he would not use it.
Talking about revenge, but in this case, he must first compete with his brothers in the court, and even compete for the confirmed position of crown prince.
"Okay! Great idea!" Wanyan Zongwang clapped his hands again, "I won't care about this matter, you can take care of it."
Wu Shu smiled and nodded: "Brother, don't worry."
…
Xu Zizhen was so confused that he didn't know how long he slept. When he woke up again, he found that there was only a dim oil lamp shining in the room and it was already dark.
He struggled to sit up, but as soon as he moved, he felt a pain in his chest, and he couldn't help but scream out.
"Ah, you're awake?" A voice came from the side, startling Xu Zizhen. When he turned around, it was Su San, who was sitting on the ground rubbing his eyes, with a look of surprise on his face.
Just woke up from a nap.
Xu Zizhen gritted his teeth and forced himself to sit up, looked around and said, "How many days have I slept?"
There are often plots like this in novels and TV. The male protagonist is seriously injured and falls asleep. When he wakes up, he finds that many days have passed and the female protagonist has been forced to get married.
Su San said: "It's been a few days. Although you were seriously injured, you only slept for half a day. The doctors at Lu Ying's family are good and have given you medicine. As long as you lie down for a few days, you can recover."
Xu Zizhen touched his ribs and found that they had been splinted and the wound was a little itchy, but the original severe pain was much lower.
Just as they were talking, Lu Ying walked in when the door rang. He was overjoyed when he saw Xu Zizhen sitting up: "Brother Xu, it'll be fine if you wake up, but I'm so anxious."
Xu Zizhen chuckled, cupped his fists and said, "I almost failed in this play. Thanks to Brother Lu, you helped me wipe my butt... By the way, are you done?"
Lu Ying laughed loudly: "How dare I disobey what Brother Xu told me? Even if Golden Dog comes back at this time, he won't be able to find any flaws."
Xu Zizhen felt relieved and asked again: "By the way, who sent me here when I was pretending to be dead?"
"She's a sister-in-law, she looks to be in her thirties." Lu Ying described the appearance of the visitor, then paused and added, "I made an excuse to say that longevity materials were out of stock, so I made an appointment with her in three days.
Brother Xu is buried."
Xu Zizhen understood as soon as he heard that this was Shui Liuli. He pondered for a moment and said: "Three days, almost. I will find a chance to meet her then. Don't really worry about this girl. I have something else to do."
Just explain it clearly to her."
Lu Ying nodded: "In that case, Brother Xu, let's rest first and recover from the injury as soon as possible. The doctor said that Brother Xu's injury is very serious, but it seems that Brother Xu has taken some medicine in advance, so it won't be a serious problem.
"
Xu Zizhen chuckled: "Without this preparation, would I dare to die?"
In fact, there were other things he didn't mention, such as the fact that he had internal energy. The internal energy he "picked" from Shui Liuli was powerful, and after so many days of training, he had long been familiar with it, just like Liu Xinian's kick.
When he was about to touch it, he secretly used his inner strength to protect his heart. As a result, he only broke a few ribs.
He looked at the night outside the window and asked Su San: "By the way, what time is it now?"
Su San stuck out her tongue and didn't answer. She said she was accompanying Xu Zizhen, but she accidentally fell asleep. She didn't know what time it was.
Lu Ying knew what was going on with her as soon as he saw it. He smiled and came to the rescue: "It's almost the third update."
Xu Zizhen lifted the quilt and got out of bed: "Just in time, come with me to see how the tunnel digging in 82 is going."
