Chapter 174: Luck (Part 2)
"Who?" In the cabin, Zhou Ji paused his hand, turned his eyes to the cabin door, and asked.
"Senior brother is me." Lai Xungu's voice came from outside.
"Junior brother? Come in quickly." Zhou Ji was slightly stunned at first and then said.
"Yes, senior brother." The wooden door was gently pushed open from outside, and Xun Gu's figure soon appeared at the hatch door.
"What's in your hand?" Zhou Ji asked when he saw a stack of things in his hand.
After Xungu walked into the cabin, he closed the wooden door casually.
"Senior Brother, this is the information that our army just sent by a boat. It was delayed during the day because of the heavy rain today. Should I read this information now, or wait for it to be read at night?" Xun Gu raised the thing in his hand and said.
Zhou Ji said with a wry smile: "I will be in Jiangling in another day. I will do this in the evening. When I see my lord, I am afraid that I will not be able to sort out the memorial in time. I'd better hurry up! It's not too late to rest after these two days."
When you arrive at the base camp, you will have a complete team and you can rest.
"Since this is the case, I will help my senior brother organize it together, so that it can be faster." Xungu said silently after hearing this.
"I'll have a junior brother." Zhou Ji said with a smile.
The two places below Zhou Ji's soft collapse were originally those two officials. At this time, they had already turned their cabins and were empty. Xun Gu handed a stack of information to his senior brother, sat down on the soft collapse on his right hand, and placed the remaining stack of information on the table and looked over.
Although it was delivered, it was only a day and a night of information. However, the princes of various vassal states had new words and actions every day. In just one day, a thick stack of information had been accumulated.
The two officials have gone down to rest, and Xungu is taking over their work of sorting.
In terms of strategy and governance strategies, Xungu is indeed far from his senior brother Zhou Ji, but he has been rolling in copywriting for many years, and it is still more than enough to deal with these.
He was very skillful in reading these trivial information. What Xun Gu had to do was to pick out the important information, write it on the scroll, summarize and classify it, and then hand it over to Zhou Jiyue for reading.
At this time, the room was full of incense, and a faint fragrance spread.
It will not make people's minds drowsy, and even if they are tired, they can persist.
Although it was daytime outside, the cabin was dim and there was a candle lit, emitting bright light. The two of them were busy quietly, with only the sound of writing and reading in the room.
In just less than half an hour, Xungu had already picked out the important information and summed it up and handed it to Zhou Ji.
At this time, Zhou Ji also picked up the information in his hands.
After observing these information, I have already gained a preliminary understanding of the latest updates of the princes in the world.
"Junior brother, what do you think of this war?" Zhou Ji put down the scroll in his hand and looked at his junior brother who was sitting not far away.
"It must be ours!" Xungu thought for a while and said.
"Oh?" Zhou Ji said oh, signaling him to continue.
"The lord led the Wu navy not only with a large number of people, but also familiar with the water nature. The Jingzhou army was good at water wars. Zheng Pingyuan formed an alliance with the lord. Even if he did not do his best in the war, it would put heavy pressure on the Shu army and cause losses, with more to less, and with elite troops against the newly established army. Before the war started, he had a chance of winning."
"Although the new firearms of Duke Shu are a bit surprising, as long as they are steady and steady, they will always have the upper hand." Xungu said this, staring at Zhou Ji, who was attending the seat.
"...Senior brother, in order to win this time, you will not hesitate to use the Pingshan Seal to add all the energy of the Great Yan to the lord. The lord is already very lucky and unstoppable."
"Even if Wang Hongyi wins Shulong, he cannot confront him. Originally, our army had an advantage in strength of three points. With this luck, it can completely suppress the Duke of Shu. Overall, the defeat of the Shu army has become a foregone conclusion. What I think about now is just how to end the war as soon as possible."
"So that's how you view this war, but this is human nature..." Zhou Ji couldn't help but sigh lightly when he heard this.
"Why, senior brother doesn't think so?" Hearing Zhou Ji's sigh, Xungu looked at him.
Among the counselors of the King of Wu, the one who knows the King of Wu Wei Yue the most is undoubtedly Zhou Ji and Xungu.
Although there are many old ministers under the tent of King Wu at that time, there are even capable ministers.
But he is a strategist, but he has no strange skills.
He has a unique skill, but does not understand strategies and tactics.
He understands both strategies and tactics and has extraordinary skills, but he is not an old man who has been with the Wu Palace for decades.
The only thing that can see through Wei Yue’s thoughts is Zhou Ji and Xungu, two people who have assisted him for many years.
Xungu is not as good as his senior brother Zhou Ji in strategy and practice, but he is also proficient in it. He deals with trivial matters on weekdays. He has known King Wu and Wei Yue for many years, so he has always had a close relationship.
Regarding the fact that he could really help the King of Wu to pacify the world and clear the enemy, Zhou Ji was the first to bear the brunt.
Zhou Ji was definitely a scheming and cautious person in his analysis of the war. Before analyzing a big thing, he would obtain a lot of information, then strip and knot, and then calculate and plan step by step. He also had the ability to divine and observe the sky. It can be said that Zhou Ji could almost always predict the truth of the matter and repeatedly contribute to King Wu Wei Yue.
In the hearts of civil servants, there are many people who are close to them.
Xungu is not as good as Zhou Ji in this regard, so he naturally heard the other party sigh and reflected on his own omissions. However, at this moment, he looked at Zhou Ji's familiar and calmness and his heroic expression at this moment, sadness appeared in his heart, and he felt even more sad.
No matter how proficient in strategy or wisdom, no matter how much you make a great contribution, you can't even protect yourself.
The only thing about humanity is to gather people, and Zhou Ji naturally cannot do anything to his own life and death.
"Junior brother, there is no fault in what you said, but two are missing." Zhou Ji said slowly at this time, his tone seemed calm and peaceful.
Decades of cultivation of qi have made him restrained in character and beautiful jade.
"First, most of the navy in Shu were not elite, but were first established in Jingzhou, but the old subordinates of the navy were led by Zhang Fan, Zhi and Xing Dahai."
"According to the news, Zhang Fanzhi was once a general of the Jingzhou naval army and was very talented. Especially when it comes to training the water army, he was praised by the former Jiangling naval army governor. However, later, the old and new were replaced. Zhang Fanzhi was not trusted by the new and large-scale naval army governor and was treated coldly everywhere..."
Speaking of this, Zhou Ji sighed: "I don't know what Wang Hongyi, who is in Shu, used that day. Hearing that Zhang Fanzhi, who is not famous, sent someone to Jingzhou to win over this person, he finally brought this person and his family to Shu."
"Then he directly entrusted the important task and became the governor of the Shu Navy. The navy general Xing Dahai, according to the tip, was born as a thief leader. Wang Hongyi did not judge a hero by his background, so he recruited him. Xing Dahai not only brought a large number of thiefs with great experience in water warfare, but also offered dozens of warships. These warships were the original foundation of the Shu Navy..."
"In fact, after several years of silent operation, the navy in Shu is no less than the Jingzhou navy. The only disadvantage is that the newly added navy has too few days."
"The lord and Zheng Pingyuan have an alliance with the naval forces of the two armies. The Duke of Shu is proficient in military tactics, so how can he not investigate? We have done a detailed investigation of the information, but how could we know that the Duke of Shu will not send him to do it in my Wu camp? True and false, false, false, true, and true, are not good comments..."
"And the Duke of Shu has a powerful firearm in his hands. What you and I know is already powerful and has a headache. Who can guarantee that with the Duke of Shu, there will be other backup plans? If you use a few more powerful weapons, I am afraid that the overall situation can be reversed."
"After a few days, I will also persuade the lord to build a firearm bureau to fight against it."
After hearing what the senior brother said, Xun Gu's face changed slightly, but he calmed down again: "Senior brother really said it thoroughly. I believe that the senior brother has a plan to deal with the Shu army?"
Zhou Ji pressed his eyebrows and said tiredly: "I am ready to write the memorial and submit it to the lord."
Because he said a lot in one breath, Zhou Ji felt his throat dry.
I picked up the cup and prepared to drink it, but found that the cup was already empty.
"I'll go and have someone give me two more cups, and I just feel a little dry." Xungu stood up and said when he saw this scene.
Seeing this, Zhou Ji nodded slightly: "I'm working on my junior brother."
Because I was busy writing a writing script, Xungu left.
Xungu then stepped out of the cabin, and Zhou Ji continued to write the memorial.
After a while, the wooden door that was hidden was pushed open again, and Xungu walked in from outside.
In his hand, he was holding a wooden tray, and there were two cups on it.
When Zhou Ji saw him coming in, he put down the brush in his hand with a tired look on his face.
Xungu walked to Zhou Ji, first put one of the cups of tea on the table he used, and handed a cup to Zhou Ji.
"Senior brother, please use tea."
"I'm working hard for junior brother. After these two days, senior brother will personally make tea for you." Zhou Ji said apologetically, and at the same time, he took the tea.
Because he was really thirsty, Zhou Ji took the cup and put it on his lips, blew it a little, and then took a sip.
"The fragrance moistens the mouth, my junior brother has grown up again when making tea." Zhou Ji said with a smile.
"It's good if you don't dislike me." Xungu said calmly, paused, and said, "Senior Brother, then I'll go out first."
"Go, let's discuss it tonight." Zhou Ji took a half cup, took a breath and said.
Seeing Xungu leave, Zhou Ji closed his eyes slightly, leaning on him half as he enjoyed himself, and continued to think about Jiangling's layout.
While thinking, I suddenly felt water flowing down my nostrils, and Zhou Ji wiped it.
Spread it in front of your eyes, but you have blood in your hands!
Zhou Ji looked at him in a daze, as if he didn't understand what was going on for a moment, but after just a moment, his whole body trembled and he burst into laughter.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"So that's how I ended up."
This poison is colorless and tasteless. I don’t know that the King of Wu can’t get it out. It must be taught by the master. However, without the permission of the King of Wu, even if the master is bold, it cannot be like this.
I don’t want to think about myself, but I worked hard for decades, but ended up like this.
I remembered that before I woke up, I still wanted to let King Wu be in the ninth level and control the world with my clothes. I could no longer control my anger and pain. But to this point, he was extremely clear.
He raised his pen, endured the heat burning fire in his chest, dipped it in his blood, and wrote: "The dragon son of the Great Swallow ordered the dragon energy to return, and the evil will be repaid in great danger. He will clearly go to heaven, and this will be the way of heaven."
He had just finished writing the music, and the blood could no longer be written, so he stopped writing it. It took only a moment, and blood flowed out of his eyes and ears, and bright red in front of him.
According to memory, I touched the teacup that I had not finished drinking, and took it with a trembling smile: "My dear Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Disciple dear Lord."
He raised his neck and drank the remaining tea.
