But Liu Xian never expected that Mao Jie, who was a "smart person" in his eyes, would collude with Xu Ji, perhaps in Liu Xian's view, Xu Ji was just a clown who jumped off the beam, and it was difficult to shake his many years of operation in Yu County. But he didn't know that the embankment of thousands of miles was destroyed in the anthill, and a small flaw could make his years of hard work go to waste, of course, Liu Xian never expected that he would be in trouble.

That night, Xu Ji quietly returned to the post house after the plan with Mao Jie, and then Xu Ji immediately arranged for Gao Shun to strengthen the garrison of the post house, Xu Ji would never show up before Xu Qian led his troops to arrive, and in this way, he must beware of Liu Xian's small actions, and he could not get any clues from the post house. And Xu Ji naturally ordered Chen to go out of the city to contact Xu Qian, Xu Ji did not need Xu Qian's men to enter the city, because too many people in the city would not be conducive to his actions. What he needed was to be able to eradicate all the forces that Liu Xian was entrenched in Yu County with a single blow, and if this was to happen, it would naturally be more effective to combine the inside and the outside.

The news of the arrival of the superintendent soon spread throughout the county under Xu Ji's deliberate actions, and the originally "quiet" Yu County also became chaotic, and people continued to come to the post house to ask to see Xu Ji, intending to denounce Liu Xian. But Xu Ji did not receive him, he still needs to further paralyze Liu Xian, if he meets these people himself, it will inevitably make Liu Xian vigilant, not to mention that among these people who come to see Xu Ji, there may not be Liu Xian who arranged to come to test Xu Ji's truth.

In Liu Xian's opinion, since Xu Ji did not meet with these untouchables in Yu County, it is enough to prove that Xu Ji is not a so-called "clean official" who wants to bring down himself. As Liu Xian said: "This kid just can't pull his face to see the old man, he has set up this bureau, the old man just won't go to the meeting, and he can't get off the stage himself." I, Liu Zhiyuan, have been in Yu County for a long time, how can he be shaken by a yellow-mouthed child? Let him play, and it won't be long before he comes to me to recognize his grandson. ”

And it is precisely because of Liu Xian's contempt for Xu Ji that the originally vigilant wealthy families of Yuxian County gradually relaxed, after all, the inaction of this superintendent shows that he has no intention of moving the wealthy families of Yuxian County. In the eyes of these Haoqiang, no matter what Xu Ji's purpose is, at least he will definitely not dare to confront all the Haoqiang in Yuxian County head-on, and this relaxation will naturally reveal flaws. But although there have been a lot of consolidations, they are not fatal, as long as Liu Xian does not completely lift his vigilance against Xu Ji for a day, then Xu Ji will not have a chance to control Yuxian for a day.

And this has been Xu Ji's quiet inaction in the post house for four days, and Xu Ji is certainly not as inactive as he seems to be in these four days. Xu Ji ordered Bo Cai to disguise himself as Mao Jie's distant relatives and obey Mao Jie's orders, and Bo Cai will be responsible for delivering the news of both sides and assisting Mao Jie's collection and sorting out Liu Xian's incriminating evidence, although Liu Xian's bad deeds are not as much as imagined. Gao Shun was told by Xu Ji that he must always be ready for battle. Chen Zhi left for two days and did not return, this is also Xu Ji's order, Xu Ji needs Chen Zhi to settle the five hundred soldiers led by Xu Qian, after all, Chen Zhi is a general who has really experienced the baptism of war, compared to Xu Qian, Xu Ji still believes in Chen Zhi's ability more at this critical time, so he will also exchange Xu Qian back to Xu Ji's side as a personal guard.

And all this is well planned, Xu Ji still needs a time, this time is the time when Yu County's defense is the most lax, that is, when Liu Xian is the most lax. Even if Xu Ji is confident and almost conceited, but after all, it is a situation of less to more, so he can't be careless and cautious, and a situation where he loses everything can't allow him to take too risky actions, because this will not only make all the previous plans go down the drain, but even in the face of Liu Xian's counterattack, Xu Ji will not only suffer heavy losses, but will also inevitably lose his hard-won official position because of Liu Xian's backbite.

Mao Jie will observe whether the timing is appropriate for Xu Ji, and Xu Ji is quite unhappy that Xu Ji trusts Mao Jie Xu Qian so much, he once said to Xu Ji: "Lord, Mao Xiaoxian is just a recent acquaintance with the Lord, and he has not even been effective, why does the Lord trust this person so much?" My Guanyuan County is just a trivial matter, why does the Lord need such a troublesome plan? ”

Xu Ji was not angry, Xu Qian couldn't see through him and could understand, after all, Xu Qian was only suitable for fighting in battle arrays, so Xu Ji explained: "I am now the superintendent of the imperial court, so naturally everything must be done in accordance with the decrees of the imperial court, how can I follow the reckless behavior of that thief?" Mao Xiaoxian can help me in such a situation, and I need to give him enough trust for this reason. What's more, I have always been suspicious of employing people, and I am not suspicious of employing people? ”

Although Xu Qian didn't say a word about this, Xu Ji could still see his dissatisfaction, after all, he was also an old man who had followed Xu Ji for a long time, and he had been in Xuzhou for several months. Now it is just that Chen Zhi, who lives and dies with Xu Ji, can make Xu Ji trust, but even a person who has not yet served Xu Ji is trusted by Xu Ji more than him, how can he be embarrassed and accept it safely? Of course, Xu Ji knew that he didn't plan to leave anything behind, after all, Xu Qian was also his cronies, so in order to avoid trouble in the future, he simply spread it out and said: "Wen Rang, I also have a deep meaning in ordering Uncle Zhi to come back for you." Let me ask you, which is stronger or weaker between you and your uncle in terms of the ability to unify the army? ”

Xu Qian is still convinced of Chen Zhi's ability to command the troops: "If you give orders between the battle formations, I am not as good as Shu Zhi, if it comes to battlefield fighting, fight bravely, and be not afraid of death, Wen Rang's conceit is stronger than Shu Zhi." ”

Xu Ji said with a smile: "That's exactly the reason, I want my uncle to seize the opportunity to attack Yu County, you may be competent?" Needless to say, you can't, but there is no shortage of brave men in the county, and I am about to use your bravery to frighten everyone in the city. This is exactly what each does its job, Wen Rang can understand? ”

Xu Qian suddenly realized, and after understanding what Xu Ji meant, he knelt on the ground and shouted: "Wen Rang didn't know what the Lord was planning, and he almost made a big mistake, a capital crime, a capital crime." ”

Xu Ji hugged him with a smile and said, "It's okay, you and Shu Zhi are my right-hand men, and they are indispensable, so don't resent each other because of this." And do you not contradict any of the people under my account, have you written it down? ”

Xu Qian is naturally Nuo Nuo.

Although Xu Ji solved a hidden danger within himself, but the time he waited for still did not appear, the more delayed, the more anxious people inevitably became, and Xu Ji's patience was very good, but he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, he didn't suspect that Mao Jie's betrayed him, but worried that the longer he didn't act, the more suspicious it would be, and even if his arrangement was secret, it was not without traces after all, maybe it was difficult for others to see through it for a while, but after a long time, there would inevitably be flaws that people could see.

Xu Ji knew that he couldn't wait any longer, if the opportunity didn't appear, then Xu Ji had only the best way to choose, that is, to take the initiative and force Liu Xian to expose his flaws, or rather, to force Liu Xian to jump off the wall in a hurry. This is very effective, but it inevitably has a bit of a sense of risk, and no one can guarantee that Xu Ji will not give his life to Yu County.

And Mao Jie is also against this approach, because although this method is effective, it may not be able to achieve the goal of killing Liu Xian and the others, and if Liu Xian and others cannot be wiped out, Xu Ji will face endless trouble, which means that the people of Yu County have still not been rescued. This is definitely not in line with the original intention of Mao Jie, but although Mao Jiejie disagrees, there is no reason to stop it, after all, he is taking the same huge risk as Xu Ji, what he is doing now can almost be called a betrayal, no matter what the purpose of Mao Jie, it is difficult to forgive the back, Xu Ji's decision is also a kind of protection for Mao Jie, even if Xu Ji fails, as long as Mao Jie's is not involved, then Mao Jie's is still just the unknown Hu Cao Pengshi, Liu Xian would never have thought that someone in Yu County had already colluded with Xu Ji, but it was precisely because of this, Mao Jie didn't want Xu Ji to take such a risk, the so-called gentleman values righteousness over life and death, how can he let a young man younger than himself compare himself?

Mao Jie naturally also planned to make Liu Xian show his flaws, and it was indeed difficult to make Liu Xian relax his guard against Yu County, Liu Xian was not a fool, Yu County was his root, and he would never let it go lightly no matter what. Then he can only find another way, since he can't do anything about the defense of Yu County, it can only make Liu Xian relax his own vigilance, and this is not difficult.

At this time, the news of Huangfu Song's victory in Jizhou came, Mao Jie asked to see Liu Xian and said that he wanted to worship the god of Sheji, and also happened to pray for the autumn harvest, Liu Xian naturally had no opinion on this, and since he wanted to sacrifice then it was obviously a banquet when the county heroes gathered together, Mao Jie just scratched Liu Xian's itch, and the recent chaos in Yu County just made him want to find an opportunity to appease, and the sacrifice of heaven and earth and the god of grains is the most suitable reason, not to mention the news of Huangfu Song's victory, It makes Liu Xian's move even more reasonable, he still considered Xu Ji, the superintendent of the post, and it is also a dereliction of duty to hold such an event without a legitimate reason.

But Liu Xian would never have expected that this sacrifice would be his funeral.

Xu Ji was almost ecstatic when he learned that Mao Jie actually encouraged Liu Xian to hold a sacrifice at this time, of course Liu Xian could not sacrifice alone, this kind of activity is naturally the responsibility of all the wealthy families in Yu County will inevitably participate, Xu Ji needs such an opportunity, there are only more than 300 people in his hands at this time, and it is obviously unrealistic to want to control the entire Yu County, and if it is just to do it to these old guys, Xu Ji even feels that it is a waste to let these elites under Gao Shun do it.

The choice in front of Xu Ji became very simple, that is, to strengthen Liu Xian's belief, and to appease Liu Xian's heart was also extremely simple. As the superintendent of the post, and Xu Ji's place of governance is set in Yu County, obviously Liu Xian could not dare to hide such a big thing from Xu Ji, of course, Liu Xian will not come to the door in person to find himself uncomfortable, he ordered his subordinates to send a letter, writing:

Zhiyuan learned that General Huangfu defeated the Yellow Turban in Julu, which was really the luck of my Han family, and it was reported that the Lord Inspector was the old department of General Huangfu, so he wanted to invite the Lord Inspector to a banquet to celebrate this great victory. Recently, Yuxian County has been quite unstable, and Zhiyuan is trying to take advantage of this victory to sacrifice heaven and earth, so as to pray for the blessing of the god of grain for the autumn harvest. I hope that the Governor Post will come with a face.

At the end of the letter, it was written that Liu Zhiyuan, the county magistrate of Yuxian County, bowed to him.

Xu Ji smiled slightly and said to Xu Qian: "You sneak out of the city tonight and tell Shu Zhi to ask him to move the camera." Well, there must have been some changes on Yuanyi's side, and wait, if Yuanyi is still in the afternoon, you will go out of the city, remember to come back before the city gate closes, tomorrow you will be my trump card. ”

Xu Qian responded with excitement on his face: "No, I will definitely live up to the Lord's entrustment." ”

Here Xu Qian went down to prepare, Bocai quietly returned to the post house, Xu Ji smiled as soon as he saw Bocai: "Yuanyi, Mr. Xiaoxian must have something to entrust, tell me quickly." ”

Bo Cai smiled and said: "The subordinates know that the Lord must be a little anxious, Mr. Xiaoxian entrusted me to tell the Lord, all be cautious, he said that he knows that the Lord must have planned properly, only four words specifically want me to bring: Eliminate evil." After all, he is also a yellow turban of Qu Shuai, even if he is now a minister, but the murderous spirit in his bones has not faded at all, but he is covered by the coat of Xu Ji's retainers, and at this moment he said this murderous speech, or revealed that bloodthirsty temperament.

Xu Ji smiled: "How can I let go of these old things who treat me as nothing?" Yuanyi, tomorrow you take a few people to the city gate to pick up your uncle, and tomorrow the county's precautions will be relaxed. But if there is one who does not fall, kill him. Although Xu Ji said this sentence with a smile, this sentence revealed a bloody killing intent.

Hearing Xu Ji's answer, Bo Cai also laughed, the scar on his face looked particularly hideous and terrifying in the shadows, and Bo Cai's voice was like a ghost roaring: "Nuo, if Yuan Yi can't win Yu County, he will come to see him." ”

Xu Ji looked at Bocai's back and finally showed a long-lost relief, and his nerves that had been tense for several days finally relaxed a little, but Xu Ji understood that he couldn't relax until he really controlled Yuxian, and Xu Ji didn't want to experience the gutter sailing ship personally, and prudence has always been one of Xu Ji's creeds.

At this time, the sky of Yuxian County was gradually a little dim, as if indicating Liu Xian's strangeness, Xu Ji chuckled and said to himself: "Little girl, maybe Xu Ji will be able to prove to you soon, Xu Wenlie never needs the mercy of others." ”

At this time, in the palace in Luoyang, a little girl like a porcelain doll was also looking at Chen Liu's direction and muttered: "Dengzi, I will never revolt and let you go." ”

A flowing fire suddenly crossed the sky, and the little girl hurriedly closed her eyes and made a wish: "May God bless Xu Ji, a disciple, his life is mine, and no one else is allowed to touch it." ”

Looking at the traces of the drifting fire gradually disappearing, the little girl also showed a cute smile, and Xu Ji, who was far away in Chenliu, also raised his head in time, only to see a red light flashing in the sky, Xu Ji suddenly laughed at himself: "That's it, the matter in front of me has not been resolved, how can it be so ambitious." ”
