The neatly dressed Hu Chuquan was brought up, at least on the surface, Hu Chuquan's expression was quite stable.

The person sitting in charge of the big tent at this moment was Yan Rou, and of course Xu Ji avoided the side, pretending to be an ordinary general in Yan Rou's army.

Now that the situation in the world is complicated, Xu Ji doesn't want to expose his identity like these irrelevant people at this time.

After Hu Chuquan entered the big tent of the Chinese army, he saw Xu Ji sitting there smiling at him at a glance, and he couldn't help but blow his beard and stare at him, of course, because Xu Ji almost caught him personally in Tunliu City, and this reason was enough for him to be angry.

Yan Rou glanced at Xu Ji and said softly to Hu Chuquan: "Hu Chuquan, you can sit down." Hu Chuquan was stunned for a moment, and then sat silently in the position pointed out to him by Yan Rou, and pondered.

Although Hu Chuquan is a Huns, he is not a reckless and ignorant person, so of course his attitude towards Yan Rou began to figure out, these days, he has been speculating about who the person who attacked him is. But he knew that this matter must have a direct relationship with the Gaoshun army of the Yanzhou army.

Yan Rou looked at Hu Chuquan and said with a smile: "Hu Chuquan, let me introduce myself first, I am a small official under General Xu Ji, the assassin of Yanzhou, and now I am temporarily in charge of the affairs of the state, and this ......" pointed to Xu Huang as he spoke: "The so-called General Yuan Huang is actually the Yanzhou general Xu Huang. Now I'm helping me in the state."

Hu Chuquan's eyes flashed with horror, he didn't expect that the figure who was extremely powerful in martial arts was actually an unknown person in Yanzhou, and the status of this Yan Rou, who had never even heard of his name, was even higher than Xu Huang! Thinking about it this way, how many outstanding talents in Yanzhou have not yet appeared?

Look at the young man who grabbed himself with ease. It seems that the position and sitting position are just a partial general. Hu Chuquan's feeling is even more profound, for the first time. Hu Chuquan felt that he really shouldn't be an enemy of Yanzhou.

Hu Chuquan's complexion changed where he could hide it from Xu Ji's eyes, Xu Ji looked at Yan Rou and gave him a dozen looks, the latter immediately understood, and said indifferently: "Hu Chuquan, I didn't need to talk nonsense with you originally, because of the situation in Bingzhou, you must be more familiar than me, and now you and your brother Yu Fuluo are desperate." I hope that you and your brother will choose to cooperate with me in Yanzhou to stabilize the chaos in the annexed state, and I hope you will not refuse me. ”

Hu Chuquan was determined in his heart, knowing that the other party would not kill him, and his heart immediately began to move, since his life was saved, the next step was naturally to seek greater benefits for himself.

Yan Rou looked at Hu Chuquan's eyes rolling there, and sneered in her heart: It was really as expected by the lord. said coldly at the moment: "But I advise you not to play tricks on me, let alone put forward any excessive conditions to me." Do you think I'm the only one looking for a partner in the state? Hum! In the Southern Huns, there are not a few people who want the lives of your two brothers. ”

Where did Hu Chuquan want to get such a detailed understanding of the situation of the various departments of the Southern Xiongnu in Yanzhou the face changed greatly at the moment yan rous words completely hit his weakness all the time . The internal disputes within the Southern Xiongnu were very serious, otherwise he and his elder brother Yu Fuluo would not have fled for their lives.

Yan Rou looked at Hu Chuquan, who was colorless, and smiled, "Your life is in my hands." Your brother is now trapped in this city of Anze, if I want to take the city. I'm afraid that it will be attacked a long time ago. You two don't have many options, let alone after working with me. Naturally, I will help you to settle the forces against you, so why not? Huchuquan, you still think twice! ”

Hu Chuquan resisted weakly: "Hmph, are you threatening me?" I wasn't scared by the Kitchen Spring. ”

Yan Rou looked up to the sky and smiled, then looked directly at Hu Chuquan, a pair of eyes forced a cold light, Mu looked at Hu Chuquan expressionlessly, and said indifferently: "This is not a threat, but a fact. ”

Xu Ji answered on the side at this time: "The so-called 'people are under the eaves, how can they not bow their heads', I hope you can understand this truth." ”

Hu Chuquan was shocked when he heard this, and muttered the novel aphorisms in Xu Ji's mouth a few times, and nodded involuntarily.

Xu Ji and Yan Rou had smiles on their faces at the same time, knowing that Hu Chuquan had been persuaded by their own side.

Sure enough, Hu Chuquan looked at Yan Rou and said, "Okay! I promised General Yan Rou! ”

Yan Rou smiled and said, "This is the best, if a person like His Excellency Hu Chuquan dies for such an innocent reason, it really shouldn't be!" But your brother is from Fura......"

Hu Chuquan said proudly: "This is a good saying, of course, it is up to me to enter Anze City to comfort my brother. ”

Yan Rou nodded, but Hu Chuquan stood up and said to Yan Rou, "Lord Yan Rou, this matter is not too late, I hope to go into the city to see my brother now." ”

Yan Rou nodded and said, "I am very appreciative of His Excellency Hu Chuquan's spirit of doing practical things, but your brother is injured now, and his emotions will inevitably fluctuate, you have to persuade him well to avoid more trouble, don't you say?" ”

Hu Chuquan nodded and said, "I naturally know this." When he stood up and was about to leave the big tent of the Chinese army, he couldn't help but stop when he walked to Xu Ji's side, looked at Xu Ji and said in a deep voice: "This warrior of Yanzhou, I called Chuquan defeated in your hands, I should be like a defeated wolf, looking for an opportunity to avenge you, but I am very convinced, and I dare not be an enemy of you in this life, I just hope that the noble name of the warrior of Zhilu Dao will be used to teach my descendants to be as brave and invincible as you are the warrior." ”

Xu Ji scolded in his heart: If the Huns are all like him, it will be a bad thing, and on the surface, he said calmly: "I am just a small person in Yanzhou, why worry about it." ”

Hu Chuquan was very disappointed, but still said to Xu Ji respectfully: "Hu Chuquan hopes to meet you with the warrior in the future." Then he turned and went out of the account.

Yan Rou said to Xu Ji in a deep voice: "The lord must not sympathize with and trust these Huns, these people are not of my race, their hearts must be different, don't look at him to you today, who knows when these guys will turn their faces and be ruthless." The great rivers and mountains that ravaged my China. ”

Xu Ji, who understands history, certainly knows this truth, and the exchanges between countries in later generations are indifferent to friends and enemies. There are only interests. Although the Southern Xiongnu have lived with the Han people for a long time, they have never been our Chinese people. Don't be careful.

It's just that I didn't expect that Yan Rou, an ancient person, could also say this truth, which is really rare.

Xu Ji nodded and glanced at Yan Rou with great appreciation, and the latter relieved himself and said with a smile: "In this way, we will wait here for the good news of Hu Chuquan." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier hurried into the account with a letter in his hand. handed the letter to Xu Ji.

Xu Ji glanced at it and said with a smile: "It turned out to be a letter from Feng Xiaolai, and it seems that the situation in Xuzhou has changed again." Under the concerned gaze of everyone, Xu Ji opened the letter casually, and after a while, a strange light appeared in his eyes, and he lost his voice: "What? Tao Qian died! ”

For a while, the camp was extremely quiet.

Guo Jia's letter wrote just three days ago. Tao Qian, who was seriously ill and overly frightened, finally swallowed his last breath, leaving only two unsuccessful sons to wear linen and filial piety for him in Xuzhou. Tao Qian only left one sentence: My second son's qualifications are mediocre, and he is not enough to appoint Yizhou affairs, such as Xu Jizai, the assassin of Yanzhou. It can be entrusted to Xu Ji, and if Xu Ji is not there, he will be appointed by the court.

Everyone looked at each other. didn't expect Tao Qian to come to such a hand when he was dying, but Xu Ji thought this matter was very interesting. Unexpectedly, in history, the matter of entrusting Xuzhou did not happen to Liu Bei, but it happened to himself.

Xu Huang snorted coldly: "Tao Qian is really an old fox. When he was dying, he sought a way out for his children and grandchildren. ”

Xu Ji said with a smile: "That's just Tao Qian's meaning, in fact, Tao Qian's move has a lot of benefits." ”

After a pause, Xu Ji said in a deep voice: "Tao Qian's last words are actually not offended by any side, not just to please me Xu Ji. In his imagination, if I Xu Ji did not die and could return to Yanzhou, I would naturally do everything to retaliate against my enemies, Xuzhou was of course the first to bear the brunt, Tao Qian was actually exchanging the ownership of Xuzhou for the lives of his two sons. ”

Everyone nodded, Xu Ji sneered: "But Tao Qian himself is not sure whether I can come back alive, so I simply sell my favor to the court, if I Xu Ji can't come back alive, then the appointment power of Xuzhou Assassin Shi will naturally be in Wang Yun's hands, Wang Yun can naturally use his cronies, cast a peach, repay him, Wang Yun has to protect Tao Qian's two sons no matter what." ”

Everyone nodded.

"However," Xu Ji's words turned, and he sneered: "Tao Qian's doing this also has the taste of ill intentions towards my Yanzhou. Or rather, this Tao Qian died at an inopportune time. ”

Everyone was surprised when they heard this, and Xu Ji snorted coldly: "Have you ever thought about how Yanzhou will react if I Xu Ji can't come back, and Yanzhou Assassin Shi appoints someone else?" ”

Everyone was stunned, and Xu Ji patiently explained: "Now my Yanzhou gives people the illusion that many military generals no longer obey the control of Yanzhou, and they are simply doing their own thing, Zhang Yan is just blatantly opposed, but in the eyes of outsiders, the trapping camp of Guo Jia, Xun You, and Gao Shun has completely disobeyed the management of the Yanzhou military and government, whether it is Xun Yu or Zhang He and Gao Ran, they can no longer restrain them." Especially Guo Jia, in the eyes of outsiders, no one can do anything about him now. But now that Tao Qian is dead, everyone knows that Tao Qian entrusted Xuzhou to me Xu Ji, as long as I come back, Guo Jia can only die immediately, but if there is another candidate for Xuzhou Assassin History, a struggle will start immediately, Xun Yu The most important thing they should do in this situation is to recall Guo Jia and take the opportunity to cut his military power, and Guo Jia's most important thing to do at this time is to seize Xuzhou by force and strategy. ”

Everyone nodded their heads, and this is indeed how things should have turned out.

Xu Ji smiled: "But this kind of thing is completely based on the fact that I haven't returned to Yanzhou, I can't wait, I must take advantage of such a good opportunity." ”

Le Yi sighed when he heard this: "It's a pity, if the lord comes out now to explain that he is in Yanzhou, then Xuzhou will immediately be in the lord's pocket." ”

Xu Ji also sighed and said: "Frankly speaking, I am also very excited, saying that it is really not the right time for me to say that Tao Qian died, if it is just to get a small Xuzhou, I want me to expose the truth of the matter now, at that time, the opportunity is not right at all, it is really a bit worth the loss." Especially Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. and Liu Biao, it is not enough for them to be deceived. If I show up now. They can get out of the way and preserve their strength. Strictly guarding the gate is very detrimental to the great cause of our army's conquest; And once I show up, Jia Xu will have a lot of things to do in Chang'an. ”

Xu Huang said in a deep voice: "In this way, the lord must already be in the palm of the pearl, I don't know if you can tell me to wait, so as to open the mouth." ”

Xu Ji said with a smile: "Actually, the solution is very simple, we can find a way to get Wang Yun to appoint Cao Bao as the assassin of Xuzhou." ”

When the people heard this, they didn't understand what it did.

Xu Ji had a confident smile in his eyes, and smiled mysteriously at everyone: "It's not interesting to say this." You just wait and see the show. However, this matter still needs the cooperation of Jia Xu and Guo Jia, and I will write to the two of them later. ”

Everyone knew that Xu Ji was already confident, so he didn't ask more.

Then Xu Ji said to Yan Rou: "In this way, the affairs of the state will be entrusted to everyone, and from tomorrow, I will lead the army of Gao Shun with Fenwu to withdraw from the state." ”

Yan Rou said to Xu Ji: "The matter of the state has been roughly like this, but I don't know what the Daoist Lord will do next?" ”

Le Yi was already anxious on the side: "That's it, now the world is in chaos, there are so many battlefields." It's just that I don't have my share, lord, if you don't let me go to the battlefield again, I'm really going crazy! ”

Xu Huang frowned and said, "Lord." In the name of the outside world, the task of Gao Shun's army was to go to Chang'an to support, and now the siege of Chang'an has been lifted. So is General Chen's cavalry under Gao Shun's department going to withdraw to Youzhou? ”

Xu Ji laughed and picked up the tea on the table. I took a sip and the fragrance lingered in my nose. It can be described as refreshing, and then Xu Ji said indifferently: "Of course, our goal is not Chang'an, but Sizhou." ”

When Xu Huang and Yan Rou heard this, their eyes lit up, and they shouted at the same time: "Gao Ming!" ”

I don't know why, but anyway, if there is a fight, he will be satisfied,

Xu Huang said with a smile: "The lord's soldiers are like gods, it is really incredible, this trick has a lot of benefits." It's just that I don't know who the target of the lord is in Sizhou? Yuan Shuhu? Wang Kuanghu? Publicity? ”

Xu Jiha said with a smile: "Gongming is so confused, everyone thinks that I entered Sizhou for Yuan Shu, but who can know that my real purpose is Zhang Yun's army in Jingzhou?" ”

Xu Huang suddenly said: "It turns out that the lord is going to cooperate with Mr. Jia Xu's attack on Hanzhong and Yizhou!" ”

Xu Ji glanced at Xu Huang: This five-son good general really lives up to the name of the annals of history, I didn't expect to have such a good overall view. It's really a little bit thorough.

After all, Yan Rou had just joined the Yanzhou Army, and there were many things that were unclear, so it was difficult to interject, but when she heard this, she understood a little, and said in a deep voice: "It turns out that the lord wants to attack Yuan Shu openly, and secretly plot Zhang Yun!" ”

Xu Ji nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Now the situation in Sizhou can be described as very complicated, Chang'an Zhang Ji, Jingzhou Zhang Yun, the defeated army Zhang Yang, Wang Kuang, each with one side in Sizhou, although Yuan Shu's power has not been inserted into Sizhou, but it can advance into Sizhou at any time, so our army has penetrated into Sizhou, and no one can see through our purpose." But that Zhang Yun never thought that our purpose was him. ”

Xu Huang said with a smile: "Yes, Zhang Yang and Wang Kuang are the enemies of our army, and Yuan Shu of Yuzhou is at war with us, so anyone who sees us entering Sizhou will definitely think that the purpose is nothing more than three points, either to crusade against Wang Kuang and Zhang Yang, or to take the strategy of encircling Wei to save Zhao, passing through Sizhou, going straight to Yuzhou, has solved the seven roads of Yuan Shu's army, and wants to try the predicament of Yanzhou, the main goal is to start from Sizhou, enter Chenliu, and seize before Yuan Shu and Zhang Yan meet, and cooperate with Jizhou's Gaoshun army to attack Zhang Yan. Then work together to resist Yuan Shu's invasion. ”

Xu Ji nodded and said with a smile: "Gongming's thinking is very clear, I just want to give this illusion to the world." ”

Xu Huang couldn't help but admire: "But who can know that Zhang Yan is the bait to deceive Yuan Shu, Zhang Ji is our own person at all, we don't have to pay attention to Zhang Jijun's existence at all, Wang Kuang and Zhang Yangjun are just lonely and poor soldiers, killing the two is just a matter of time, and we don't need to do anything to clean up Yuan Shu." On the face of it, we really don't have a reason to attack Zhang Yun."

Xu Ji said casually: "If it weren't for that, how could we have deceived Zhang Yun and made him think that we couldn't target him." ”

Xu Huang said: "I'm afraid that Zhang Yun will be happy, Liu Biao and Yuan Shu are mortal enemies, we march into Sizhou, Zhang Yun is only afraid that he is holding the mentality of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, counting on us to have a big fight with Yuan Shu." ”

After a pause, Xu Huang smiled again: "I'm afraid that Yuan Shu himself will show his misfeelings, thinking that we went deep into Sizhou for him Yuan Shu, but I'm afraid that the lord has not deceived him, he has already won the plan to stabilize the army, and he will divide his forces to prevent us from attacking." ”

Le Yi remembered something at this time and said: "By the way, my lord, if this is the case, we should first contact Li Yan, who is undercover in the Jingzhou army." ”

Xu Ji nodded, stood up and said with a smile: "But the source of this matter still has to start from Jia Xu, and then it will be a matter of moving the whole body." ”

After a pause, he smiled again: "Anyway, the left and right are trying to deceive Yuan Shu and Zhang Yun, and the reason why we sent troops this time is still to take revenge on Gao Shun's army, so we want to attack Wang Kuang and Zhang Yangjun in the name of attacking Wang Kuang and Zhang Yangjun, let Yuan Shu and Zhang Yun be smart. As for the destruction of Wang Kuang and Zhang Yun, it can be regarded as a little contribution to our Sizhou campaign.'

The crowd laughed.

At this moment, no one knew what to do, and Xu Ji's eyes were already on the springboard to Jingzhou - Sizhou. (To be continued......)
