At this time, Xu Ji was on his way to Chen County, and Xu Ji actually admired Liang Xi very much. Liang Xi and he are both from poor families, and they have no reputation and family background, but they can do this step as officials in Chen County, which is already a proof of Liang Xi's ability. Xu Ji thinks that he may not be able to do better if he is replaced by himself, after all, Liang Xi's situation is more difficult than his own. But Xu Ji did not fully agree with Liang Xi's choice, because Xu Ji was in Liang Xi's position, and he might not choose that.

However, although Xu Ji may not choose the same path as Liang Xi, this does not prevent Xu Ji from appreciating Liang Xi, the difficulties of the poor scholars have always been understood only by people who are also from the poor family, Xu Ji can be regarded as a very lucky person among the poor scholars, and it can even be said that he is extremely lucky to meet a nobleman. After all, Xu Ji was promoted by virtue of his military exploits, and Liang Xi's status was based on years and months of time through his own ability to achieve today's status and get today's power, it can be said that the person who can go to Liang Xi's step is not only a talented person but also a very wise person, or in other words, he knows the way of speculation. By no means the idealized martyr.

And with such a sleek person, Xu Ji really didn't know what he had now that could impress him. To be honest, in Xu Ji's opinion, sometimes these poor scholars are more difficult to deal with than the children of the world, because the children of the world will always have some weaknesses that seem to be very simple to break, and some even have a little vain dreams, which can be easily solved by just prescribing the right medicine. But the poor scholars are different, they are a group of people who have experienced the cruelty of reality, they are a group of people who have grown up at the bottom, they have seen too much reality, they will never use what they get to gamble for a false dream, and they are more cautious in dealing with the world, and will never easily expose their flaws, such people are the most difficult to deal with, because you have nothing to do with such people except coercion.

In Xu Ji's opinion, Liang Xi is undoubtedly such a person, and a person like Liang Xi is undoubtedly extremely troublesome to deal with, he knows what he wants, and Xu Ji wants him to work for himself, he must do what he likes, the problem is here, Xu Ji doesn't know what Liang Xi wants, this is also the reason why Xu Ji must come in person, only by understanding what Liang Xi wants Xu Ji can take targeted ways to deal with it.

As for Yuxian, Xu Ji believed that Xun You's ability could deal with it, even if there was a big trouble, Xu Ji also reserved a back hand, and even said that after Xu Ji learned that Xun You wanted to take on this matter, he prepared this back hand. But Xu Ji is reluctant to use this backhand, if he can not use it, he will not use it, it is a kind of lose-lose, and the fish will die, Xu Ji does not want to turn all his previous efforts into vain.

Even if Yu County is not too far from Chen County, it will take three or four days to arrive, and although Xu Ji and the three of them are few people, they are not walking fast, in fact, this is also because Xu Ji did not think about how to treat Liang Xi and how to find out what he really wanted, so he traveled so slowly. Otherwise, Xu Ji would rather arrive in Chen County faster to persuade Liang Xi, after all, Yu County is still the only territory he holds in his hands now, and there is no room for loss, Yu County is the most important strategic point for Xu Ji at present, and if he loses here, he will lose the strategic purpose of being able to hold Chen Liu and then annex Yanzhou. And although Xu Ji is not worried that Xun You can't deal with it, but after all, there is nothing wrong with being more secure, if he deals with Yu County by himself, he must be able to control Yu County more smoothly in his own hands, but he has to find Liang Xi to sit in the rear for him. And he definitely didn't expect that the situation in Yuxian County was now much beyond his expectations. Or more violently than he expected.

Yu County, military camp.

Gao Shun had already recruited his troops among the soldiers who had joined the army in Yuxian, and in Yuxian he had finally recruited enough soldiers to expand his command to 800. Don't underestimate the only five hundred newly recruited, this is the elite of the elite selected from all the soldiers in Yu County. And for Gao Shun such a strict selection standard Xu Ji is also very helpless, Gao Shun seems to have an extremely weird obsession, he is paranoid that the most important thing for soldiers is elite rather than blindly increasing the number, of course, Gao Shun does not deny the importance of quantity, but he still thinks that there is nothing inappropriate about himself to be so, of course, Xu Ji does not think that he has anything wrong, but his strict selection method inevitably makes his command look particularly "miserable", but this is Gao Shun's personal style Xu Ji is too lazy to care about him, After all, it is still very reassuring to have such an elite under the command of such a strict general. And this is also the backhand that Xu Ji relies on the most. Just like Gao Shun promised Xu Ji, as long as the elite under his command can be trained, then he can maintain an undefeated against two thousand people, which may sound extremely arrogant, but Xu Ji knows that Gao Shun is not talking big, but he really has such confidence. It is also the elite soldiers obtained by Gao Shun's extremely harsh selection of soldiers.

At this moment, Gao Shun frowned and looked at the five hundred soldiers who were training desperately in the square, these soldiers were still too weak, not to mention compared to the original three hundred people under his command, even the Sun Jian guards he had seen in Wancheng at that time far exceeded these five hundred. Of course, it is not that the quality of these soldiers themselves is worse than that of Sun Jian's personal guards, but that they still have not adapted to the almost inhumane training under Gao Shun. Xu Ji once said to Gao Shun about Gao Shun's crazy training method: "I am afraid that the training under General Gao is not soldiers, but a group of wild beasts, and those who survive such torture are all bloodthirsty wolves." And Gao Shun's answer was also very simple: "The elite should have the appearance of the elite, how can there be no such iron-blooded army under the command of the Lord?" ”

And Xu Ji only laughed at this, with a general like Gao Shun, he never had to worry that the soldiers were not elite enough.

In fact, before Xu Ji left Yuxian, Gao Shun had already recruited these soldiers, and after several days of training, although no one had quit, it was obvious that Gao Shun had already aroused the dissatisfaction of these new soldiers under Gao Shun's command. However, because Gao Shun underwent the same training as them, they did not have a seizure, but Gao Shun knew that these guys would not be convinced.

In the face of such a situation, Gao Shun did a very simple thing: pull out his old department. He ordered the recruits to watch how his old unit was trained. And after seeing that Gao Shun's old troops easily completed the training that was no less than terrible torture in their eyes, they had to be convinced of the strength of Gao Shun's subordinates, and Gao Shun said to them coldly: "You think that if you can join my command, you will be all elite? When will you be able to be dissatisfied with what I have done to you today when I have commanded these soldiers? Only then will you be worthy to be called the elite! ”

This is enough to make people speechless, you can say that Gao Shun's physique is different from ordinary people who can withstand such a toss, but if three hundred people can easily complete it, it is definitely not how different Gao Shun is from ordinary people, and those who can enter Gao Shun's eyes are naturally extremely elite existences, these people's morale is naturally extremely high, how can they easily be discouraged and think that they are inferior to others? If you don't think you're worse than others, why can't you do what others can do?

It was Gao Shun's hand that made these 500 people grit their teeth and endure the torture of such intense training, but in fact, Gao Shun's practice of training soldiers was from less to more, from simple to complex, step by step. But Gao Shun changed his previous habits this time, also because Xu Ji had secretly summoned Gao Shun to inform him about his arrangements for him the night before he set off for Chen County.

That night, Xu Ji said to Gao Shun: "General Gao, I want you to be able to train a fighting army for me within ten days, not to compare with the old troops under your command, just an ordinary elite is enough." ”

Gao Shun naturally didn't understand why Xu Ji was so anxious to need an elite army, in his opinion, this seemed to be a redundant thing, so he asked: "Lord, now that Yuxian County has been decided, could it be that the Lord wants to conquer separately?" ”

Xu Ji shook his head, looked at his clothes and said slowly: "It's not another expedition, but the war in Yuxian is far from over." ”

Gao Shun was naturally puzzled, in his opinion, Liu Xian died, so Yu County naturally belonged to Xu Ji, and since it already belonged to Xu Ji, where did the war come from? He looked suspicious, and Xu Ji saw Gao Shun's puzzled face and explained: "My opponent is not only Liu Xian, how can this wealthy family in Yu County sit back and watch me do whatever I want in Yu County?" Now that I have ordered them to take over their military power, this is tantamount to cutting off their way of life, and these families must not allow me to do so, but I want to use this to force out the last trace of these families, and only when these families who are hostile to me disappear can they be regarded as truly belonging to me. Moreover, although Liu Xian is dead, I have no way to cut off all his henchmen, and I can't guarantee that I won't attack me in times of crisis, and now I just take the opportunity to go to Chen County to wipe out these unstable guys. When I was not in Yuanxian, you only obeyed Gongda's orders, and this elite under your command was my most reliable force, if you can't do anything, Gongda's safety will be fully entrusted to you. ”

And every time he thinks of these Gao Shun, he can't help but feel a little anxious, although his political sense is not sensitive, but he already feels the terrible undercurrent under the seemingly calm situation in Yuxian at this time. And Xun You still has no intention of using Gao Shun, Gao Shun also knows that he is the real and the most reluctant, if Xun You really uses his own move, then it means that Xu Ji has reached the extreme of life and death, and at that time Xu Ji has to withdraw from Yu County, that is to say, Xu Ji has lost his fundamental place. It's not that easy to get back on the rise.

If you can, of course Gao Shun doesn't want to face such a result, now this county is Bo Cai in exchange for his own life, this is Xu Ji gambling with his own life, and Gao Shun and the people under his command fought for their lives. Thinking of Gao Shun, who is still in a coma, he can't wait to lift his knife and chop all these high-ranking so-called clans one by one, but Gao Shun also knows that his thinking is naïve, if it is so useful, why does Xu Ji need such a cautious plan? Wouldn't it be better to have ordered them all to be killed a long time ago? Gao Shun also knew that Lu Dao's rough methods could only solve temporary troubles, but they would leave endless troubles, and Xu Ji obviously did not simply deal with the family in Yuxian County out of this consideration.

Gao Shun was also surprised to not know how to react to the sudden change of Mao Jie, and even he wanted to grab Mao Jie and ask him what was wrong, but Xu Ji's order made him have to give up this idea, Xu Ji's order was to ask him to ignore any abnormal changes and chaos in Yu County, he only needed to be responsible for training troops and obeying Xun Yu's orders. And even if Gao Shun is worried about the current situation, he can't do anything, not to mention that Xu Ji still has an order first.

In the face of such a situation, Xun You was extremely calm, he was unmoved and maintained Yu County according to his plan, and Mao Jie was already at home, and the family of Yu County had already begun to act, not only Xun You's decree was difficult to implement, but also delayed the processing speed of the entire Yu County administration, and the only one that could still operate normally was Gao Shun, or rather, only this one was the place where the Yu County family could not penetrate into it.

The clan of Yu County still has scruples about Xu Ji, and they can't guarantee that Xu Ji's visit to Chen County this time is not a plan, although they seem to have succeeded in moving Mao Jie's throw to their side, but now Mao Jie's loss of power and power can play a very small role, Xun You still has military power in his hands, and it will take time for the family to mobilize their own private soldiers, so they have not yet started. But every citizen of Yuxian can feel the increasingly strong smell of war in the air of Yuxian County.

And this time, it will be decided who will be the most rearly masterful in Yu County. Whether it is Xun You or Chen Qing, the end of this war is the real end, Xu Ji will withdraw from Yuxian if he fails, and even resign from his post because of the family's complaint and be convicted, and it is very likely that he will be directly executed. The family of Yuxian County is facing the same, if they fail, they will face Xu Ji's thunderous anger, and Xu Ji, who holds the name of righteousness, will never allow any of them to continue to exist in Yuxian, then, it will be the disaster of extermination.

It is this consequence that makes both sides extremely cautious, no matter who is caught by the other party, they will face a blow with the full strength of the other party, and both sides cannot afford the blow that the other side has done with all their might.

In the situation in Yuxian County, where it is still unknown who wins and who loses, Mao Jie has become the most critical point at this time, he holds the secrets of both sides, that is, no matter which side he falls, it will play an extremely important role, which is also Chen Qing's intention to win over Mao Jie early.

However, when will this county be stable? This is what the people of Yuxian County really care about, but it is also the thing that both sides attach the least importance to, which also confirms Xu Ji's words: Rise and fall are meaningless, and the people are suffering.
