吉星辉想了想，终于说道：“来，周老哥，我介绍个人给你认识。”
“什么人？”
吉星辉让周续祖散去左右，然后跟自己带来的那个幕僚道：“见过周将军吧。”
“在下钟龟年，拜见周将军。”没有外人之后，钟龟年跨上一步，坦承了自己的身份：“在下的恩师牛公，现任大顺国相。”
听到来人自报家门后，周续祖没有勃然大怒、也没有大惊失色，而是一脸的平静，他垂下头仔细斟酌了片刻，又抬起头问道：“钟先生是来给许将军做说客的吗？”
“在下和许将军已经多年不见了，今天在下不是来给许将军做说客的，其实……”钟龟年笑道：“许将军就是在下引荐给闯王的。”
“先生是说，你说的话许将军不知道？”
“许将军现在还不知道，但如果将军有意的话，在下这便会修书一封去通知许将军。”钟龟年脸上露出微笑：“但顺王知道，牛相爷也知道，在下是奉顺王之命而来的。”
“顺王想让先生对本将说什么？”
“如果周老哥同意的话，”吉星辉替钟龟年回答了这个问题：“顺王愿意封我们为侯，让我们仍执掌本部。”
“同意什么？同意临阵倒戈？”周续祖冲吉星辉嚷嚷了起来：“原来你早找好退路了，可是怎么今天才和我说，现在哪里还来的及？”
“不需要周将军临阵倒戈，顺王只是希望周将军按兵不动，就是不要拼全力为朱明作战。”钟龟年解释道：“当年许将军孤身投奔顺王，顺王解衣衣之、推食食之，言听计从。周将军现在手握重兵，一身本领也不在许将军之下，我恩师本来说若是周将军肯临阵倒戈，顺王会对许将军、周将军……”钟龟年看了旁边的吉星辉一眼：“还有吉将军一视同仁。可顺王知道周将军和吉将军素来忠义，虽然明知朱明军昏臣奸、民不聊生，可仍不肯和昔日同袍兵戎相见，所以只让在下来和两位将军说，只要在决战之时按兵不动便好，许将军自然能大破贺宝刀，到时候两位将军弃暗投明，也不用和旧友一战了。”
“钟先生先出去用茶，本将想和吉将军说两句话。”
把钟龟年请出中军帐后，周续祖看着吉星辉：“你打得好算盘。”
“贺宝刀说他把侯爷留在京师了，不过我看未必，”吉星辉道：“若是侯爷逃走，在南方振臂一呼，咱这新军立刻就得分崩离析、元气大伤。就算明天能赢了许平一次，难道事情大白、军队解体后还能赢他第二次不成？”
“要是成了大顺官兵，”周续祖轻轻点头：“那样就算侯爷把事情挑破，有了大顺撑腰，部下也算是有了主心骨了。”
“正是如此，无论侯爷到底是真的呆在京师，还是已经逃走了，大顺都势必要派兵南征，许平已经在顺王手下立了那么多功劳了，顺王怎么敢再把南征的功劳给他？”见周续祖一脸的沉思表情，吉星辉趁热打铁道：“若是侯爷果然不在了，那南征凭我们还不是手到擒来？即使侯爷还在，福宁精锐早就抽调来新军中了，侯爷已经是无兵可用，再加上其他顺军，我看侯爷也没回天之力了。”
“不错，侯爷已经是孤家寡人，连江西的民练都上阵了。”周续祖心里暗自琢磨，若情况有变，实在不行就去和黄石哭诉自己被贺宝刀蒙蔽了，到时候只要手里还有兵权——这乱世中还愁兵权在握的武将找不到主子么？不过这话周续祖不打算和吉星辉明言：“按兵不动也好，贺宝刀手下可是有六万大军，许平才三万，就是加上我们这一万也凶多吉少。”
“而且一旦倒戈，说不定贺宝刀会发了疯一般地来打我们，要是把兵拼光了，顺王那里说不定就有变卦了。”吉星辉已经想好，若是明日新军大胜，那还是跟着明廷先混着，他和周续祖的想法一般无二，只要手里有兵，总是会有人来招揽的，明廷也会像供着菩萨一样地供着自己。

忻州附近，晋军姜镶。
“贺帅说许将军只有三万人，我们两军联手有十万人，一个时辰就能击溃他。”姜镶问周围的幕僚：“你们怎么看？”
“许将军不可能只有三万，贺帅这是给我们鼓劲，想让我们给新军卖命罢了。”一个幕僚不屑地说道。
“可若是许将军真的被贺帅击败了，我们又没去帮忙的话，恐怕皇上那里不好看，新军也会霸着山西不走。”另外一个幕僚则忧心忡忡：“这请神容易送神难，新军那么多将领，谁敢说他们不盯着我们山西的地盘呢？这是我们的山西，可不能容他们赖着不走。”
“是啊。”姜镶就是担心这个，如果晋军一点不出力，让朝廷觉得晋军又不听话又没用，说不定就会把山西的地盘分给新军的有功将士，姜镶越琢磨越有这种可能性，朝廷如此行事还有分化新军的好处：“别人不管，我不能一点功都不立，不然将来就没有我的立足之地了。”
“可要是我们拼光了士卒，结果新军还输了，我们就连在大顺那边的立足之地也没有了。”第一个说话的幕僚发急道：“大人您得三思啊。”
“而且顺王还带着主力在许将军身后，除非我们能和新军协力把许将军和顺王一起打败，否则还是帮着顺王把新军打败为好。”
“还是两不相帮吧，”又有一个幕僚建议道：“我们先看看贺帅到底能不能打赢顺王再说，明天新军就算赢了也不要急忙从事。”
