Xu Ji didn't expect that on the third day of his journey, he ran into a potential opponent that he had been worried about: 'old friend' Liu Bei, who sent soldiers to ask only to find out that Liu Bei was ordered by Liu Yu to take up the task of envoying Chang'an this time, and it can be seen that this Liu Yu also has another purpose, otherwise there is no need to bring 5,000 people like himself, and the envoy sent is actually Liu Bei instead of Wei You, which is really unexpected by Xu Ji, how can Liu Bei be missing Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, his two sworn brothers? In this way, there is only one explanation, Liu Yu is the same as himself, this time he sent people to Chang'an to find an opportunity to rescue Emperor Han Xian, of course, Liu Yu could not have known the development of the historical process of Lu Dao as early as himself, and knew how Lu Dao used Dong Zhuo's internal disputes, but don't forget that Liu Yu has a son who is an official in Chang'an, and he is deeply loved and trusted by Emperor Han Xian.

Seeing the other party's flag, so as not to cause misunderstanding, Xu Ji hurriedly showed his flag, so the two sides lowered their vigilance and gathered together. By this time it was already dark, and it was time for dinner, and the two soldiers and horses tied the camp together, so that they could take care of each other. As for the affairs of the army, it is naturally handed over to Chen Zhi to take care of in the future with the army, and there is no need for Xu Ji to worry about it.

Xu Ji sat alone in the big tent, and there were bursts of soldiers' singing and laughter and the unique smell of roasting their prey outside. However, all this did not have the slightest attraction to Xu Ji.

How to treat Liu Bei in front of him? Frankly speaking, Xu Ji really wanted to kill Liu Bei, so as not to cause endless trouble to himself in the future, and God seemed to be helping him. actually sent Liu Bei to his eyes so easily, and the most important thing is that Liu Bei is defenseless against himself now. If he didn't take the opportunity to take Liu Bei's life. It really doesn't seem to make sense.

When you think about it, it seems that things are not that simple. First of all, it is very easy to destroy Liu Bei with his own troops, then Liu Bei only brought 5,000 people, under the same number, it is really easy for these ghost elites under his command to destroy the enemy, but the other party is a peerless general such as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and he is not sure that he can kill Liu Guanzhang after killing Liu Bei's 5,000 people cleanly, and then do it unknowingly, no one in the world knows the way. What's more, what would Chen Zhi think about doing this himself. These are all questions. And once this matter is known to the world, all the prestige that he has worked so hard to build up will be in vain, not to mention that other princes will attack him en masse, even the two states under his control will also be greatly dissatisfied with him because of his own behavior, and he may become a laughing stock. If you do this, if you give the head of your own hope to Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu in vain, it will inevitably outweigh the loss.

Send people to assassinate? This idea has not been seen, because now no one has a reason to assassinate Liu Bei, Liu Bei did not offend anyone in a small Youzhou don't drive, and there are more than 10,000 people in the two armies together. And Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Chen can assassinate Liu Bei in the case of such a super master, what kind of character will it be? Sooner or later, you will guess it.

After thinking about it for a long time, Xu Ji sighed, but he gave up the tempting idea of killing Liu Bei. Never mind. Let's find a way to deal with Liu Bei in the future.

At this moment, the curtain of the big tent was lifted, and Chen Zhi walked in. Xu Ji was overjoyed when he saw Chen Dao. was about to speak, but saw Chen Zhi slap his eyes at him. Then he said to himself: "Lord Lejin, don't drive to visit your lord in Youzhou." Xu Jizheng didn't understand what was going on, and when he heard the words, he realized that it was Liu Bei who came to visit him in person, so he quickly stood up and said, "Please." ”

As soon as the words were finished, the door curtain moved, Liu Bei and his two brothers were already standing in the big tent, it seemed that these three people were outside the door, Chen Zhi was afraid that he would reveal his identity by speaking first, so he looked at himself, think about it, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, two people with super ears and eyesight, should be extremely careful when speaking. Thinking of this, Xu Ji stood up and greeted Liu Bei repeatedly.

Liu Bei still saw the same old appearance when he met the alliance, but there was a little more wind and frost between his eyebrows, it seems that life in Youzhou is very difficult, but his mental state is much better than the original, obviously in Liu Yu's subordinates, Guan Yu is still the kind of arrogant appearance with a cold and murderous aura all over his body, Zhang Fei is becoming more and more calm, no longer looking around like when the princes were in the alliance, looking left and right, and his domineering spirit is heavier.

At this time, it was already night, a brazier was lit in the big tent, under the clever makeup, of course Liu Bei couldn't recognize Xu Jilai, even Guan Yu and Zhang Fei couldn't see the flaws, and Xu Ji was also deliberately changing his tone, so that Liu Bei, who was not very impressed by Xu Ji, couldn't see that the person in front of him was Xu Ji, but just looked at Xu Ji carefully.

When Xu Jizheng felt uncomfortable, Liu Bei smiled and said: "Liu Bei has heard of General Lejin's name, and when I saw it today, he was really heroic." Xu Ji listened inexplicably, and he didn't know how Liu Bei knew about Lu Dao Lejin, so he was about to speak, but he saw Zhang Fei's pair of copper bell giant eyes looking at him eagerly, which was full of desire to fight, and Guan Yu's eyes were a flash of murder, obviously a "killing intention" for the music in front of him, which made Xu Ji's heart sink.

Looking at Xu Ji's incomprehensible appearance, Liu Bei smiled and said: "Look at me confused, I forgot to say the reason, last winter, I only met my senior brother Gongsun Zhan, and I heard my senior brother talk about General Lejin's name." Xu Ji then understood that there were many people under Xu Ji's command who knew that it took only five rounds for Le Jin and Gongsun Zhan in the Youzhou border army to fight each other, and since the princes met the alliance, after losing to Lu Bu, Gongsun Chan had never been beaten so badly, so for a while, the name of Le Jin was widely spread in the Youzhou army, and Liu Bei knew that his name was normal.

Looking at Liu Bei's kind smile, Xu Ji couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, this Liu Bei is too good at acting, if it weren't for Zhang Fei and Guan Yu's expressions being so weird, where could Xu Ji see Liu Bei and the others' murderous intentions against Lejin? Ha, this thing is interesting, he hasn't killed Liu Bei yet, this Liu Bei wants to kill himself in turn, if he can create a certain situation, force Liu Bei to take the lead. Then he will have a lot of reasons to deal with Liu Bei, anyway, the last sentence is "last resort." "Just Defense" solves all problems.

Xu Ji responded while thinking about it: "I see, if you have the opportunity, please ask Liu Beijia to bring a message to Lord Gongsun Zhan." said that Le Jin was forced to act because of the battle between the two armies, if Lord Gongsun Chan handed over Yuan Tan earlier, where would there be these things? In the final analysis, it was Yuan Shao who harmed people, and I asked Lord Gongsun Chan for forgiveness. ”

At this time, there were only four people left in the big tent, including Xu Ji and Liu Bei, and Chen Zhi had already gone out. Seeing that there was no one in the tent, Guan Yu couldn't help but snort lightly, opened his Danfeng eyes, and for a while, his eyes were full of murderous energy, and he looked at Xu Ji. Zhang Fei also secretly clenched his fists, obviously wanting to act with Guan Yu and kill Xu Ji while no one was there.

Xu Ji had long expected that there would be such a situation, but Xu Ji was not afraid of the three people in front of him, on the one hand, there was Liu Bei, a smart person, and Guan Yu would never be allowed to do this, because as long as Guan Yu did something against his fake "Lejin", he would immediately provoke a war between Youzhou and Xu Ji, for a small "Lejin". It's not worth it.

Even if the three of them do it now, Xu Ji is not afraid of them, he is not a scholar who is powerless, but he is also a person who has fought on the battlefield at the beginning. Although Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are peerless generals, they are not on the war horse and have no weapons. There is nothing to be afraid of at all, even with Liu Bei, it is impossible to kill himself easily. And an unarmed opponent like this, let alone three. It's ten, and it's still easy for Xu Ji to make a noise. Therefore, Xu Ji's whole body relaxed on the surface, and secretly entered the offensive state that could enter the counterattack at any time, and looked at the three people opposite with a smile. If the three of them did it, Xu Ji would be even happier, because he finally found an excuse to clean up Liu Bei, but this possibility is too small, how could Liu Bei give himself this opportunity? Sure enough, Liu Bei didn't react.

When the two sides were standing there without saying a word, Chen Zhi, Wen Ping, and Yu Ban walked into the big tent, and when they saw the four of them standing like that, they were a little stunned, and they didn't understand what they were doing.

When Guan Yu heard the voice, helplessness flashed in his eyes, and he slowly narrowed his eyes, Zhang Fei saw Guan Yu like this, and he also relaxed his fist. The tension in the tent gradually eased again.

Xu Ji smiled loudly, and as if nothing had happened, he beckoned everyone to eat. The dinner that night was quite weird, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also toasted Xu Ji with a glass of wine.

After they were full of wine and food, Liu Bei and the three of them said goodbye, and Xu Ji ordered someone to bring ten jars of wine as a gift, without asking, it was of course for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to drink.

After the three of them left, Xu Ji called a person in, and commanded a few times in his ear, and the man nodded again and again, turned around and walked out of the tent. Xu Ji casually beckoned Chen Zhi and the three of them to sit down.

Chen Zhi was silent for a while, and couldn't help but say, "Lord, what happened when we just entered the tent, and why is the atmosphere so weird. Seeing that Xu Ji was silent, he couldn't help but say: "The lord, please say it directly, the subordinates just wonder why Liu Bei and the others are so serious." At this time, Yu Ban and Wen Ping also put down their teacups and looked at Xu Ji, because they also sensed that something was wrong just now.

Xu Ji pondered for a long time, and told Chen Zhi what happened just now, anyway, this matter is not his fault, Chen Zhi's eyes were full of light for a while, obviously very dissatisfied with Liu Bei.

Xu Ji said with a smile: "Uncle Zhi doesn't need to be like this, everyone has different positions, and it's normal for people to want my life, there's nothing strange about it." Uncle Zhi doesn't have to take it to heart. ”

Chen Zhi sat for a long time before he said, "The Lord is really a humble gentleman. Xu Ji smiled when he heard this, of course he understood the potential meaning of Chen Zhi's words, if it was someone else's words, he was afraid that he would have already begun to say bad things about Liu Bei, but Xu Ji did not say such words, so Chen Zhi would say that Xu Ji was a humble gentleman.

Xu Ji smiled: "I don't care about these things, but have you ever thought about what will happen between Liu Yu and Gongsun Chan if Liu Bei goes to Chang'an?" ”

The three of them were stunned when they heard this, Chen Zhi and Guo Jia had been together for a long time, and their intelligence had naturally improved a lot, and after being slightly stunned, they immediately changed color and said: "It's not good, Liu Yu is in danger." ”

Xu Ji nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Liu Yu has always had an unclear attitude towards Gongsun Zhan, although he wants to eliminate Gongsun Zhan, but he has no military talent, and now he has transferred Liu Bei, who can fight well, out of Youzhou, once the war starts, I am afraid that he will suffer immediately, and he will be defeated in the hands of Gongsun Zhan." Yu Ban didn't understand: "Why is Liu Yu so unwise? ”

Xu Ji smiled: "That's not that Liu Yu doesn't have wisdom. It's really Liu Bei's attitude that is really ambiguous, and you saw it just now. Liu Bei still has a lot of respect for Gongsun Zhan, otherwise Guan Yu and Zhang Fei would not have exuded such a dignified murderous aura. It's just that I pretend to be Lejin as a mortal enemy. If there is no connection between Liu Bei and Gongsun Zhan, I don't believe it. Hmph, if I guess correctly, Liu Yu is now transferring Liu Bei out of Youzhou, just hoping that Liu Bei will not interfere in it, which means that Liu Yu is about to use troops against Gongsun Zhan. ”

Chen Zhi frowned and said, "Then we should immediately notify Mr. Liang Xi to pay attention to the opportune moves, and ask him to be ready to eliminate Gongsun Zan at any time." Yu Banwen hired the two of them to nod in agreement.

Xu Ji smiled mysteriously and said: "It is certain to eliminate Gongsun Zhan, but this is not the time, I think it will take some time." Chen Zhi and the others didn't understand what Xu Ji meant. They all showed inquiring eyes, but Xu Ji didn't answer, what he wanted to wait for was that Liu Yu was killed by Gongsun Zhan, and at that time, he could not only eliminate Gongsun Zhan, but also be able to get Youzhou in his hands, why not? But of course, you can't tell the three people in front of you about this idea, otherwise it will really damage your image, and even if you say it, no one will believe it. Who would have thought that Liu Yu's hundreds of thousands of people and horses would be killed and dispersed by Gongsun Zhan, and even more directly taken to the nest by Gongsun Zhan, Liu Yu himself and his family were killed by Gongsun Zhan, the first ruthless person in the Three Kingdoms.

At this moment, the spy that Xu Ji had just sent returned to the camp. To Xu Ji: "Lord, Liu Bei and the other three did not return to the camp, but walked in the direction of a small pavilion three miles away. ”

Xu Ji heard this. Standing up, he smiled at the three of them: "I don't know if you have the leisure to listen to what Liu Bei has to say?" The three of them were stunned. Naturally, Qi Qi nodded in agreement.

It didn't take long for Xu Ji and the other four to come to the small pavilion three miles away. Because Liu Bei and the other three walked slowly, Xu Ji and the others would arrive one step ahead of Liu Bei.

After the three of them hid their bodies, it didn't take long for them to hear a voice in the distance, and they didn't ask, of course, it was Liu Bei and the other three. Xu Ji and the others hurriedly held their breath and quieted down.

After a while, the voices of the three came from the pavilion, it was Liu Bei's voice: "Second brother, third brother, let's take a rest here." Ha, I didn't expect there to be a small kiosk here. ”

Liu Bei's words fell, but Guan Yu's voice came coldly: "Big brother's intentions, Guan Yu understands them, but let Guan someone send away the little ones hiding here." After a pause, he said, "Who is hiding there?" Don't show up with me yet! Guan Yu heard this, Xu Ji and the four of them were stunned, and they didn't understand where they had exposed their hiding and were discovered by Guan Yu, a peerless general.

Yu Ban knew that it was pointless to hide here again, so he wanted to stand up, but Xu Ji's big hand pressed his shoulder, Yu Ban was stunned, and he didn't understand why Xu Ji did this. But I heard Guan Yu's voice come again: "Big brother, it seems that there is no one here, we can sit here for a while, not afraid of someone eavesdropping." Liu Bei and Zhang Fei agreed and sat down.

Only then did Yu Ban realize that Guan Yu was bluffing just now, but he was too honest and almost fell for Guan Yu's scheme. couldn't help but feel ashamed in his heart, and looked at Xu Ji, but saw Xu Ji looking at himself with a smile, without the slightest sense of blame, so he felt a little better. Of course, Xu Ji was so indifferent because it was not the first time he had done this kind of thing, and he naturally didn't worry about it. Yu Ban saw that the other three were listening intently to Liu Bei and the others, and hurriedly concentrated on listening.

I only heard Guan Yu sigh: "Big brother, why didn't you let me and my third brother kill Le Jin in the big tent just now?" In this way, it is also good to avenge General Gongsun Zhan. When Chen Zhi heard this, there was a murderous flash in his eyes. Obviously, he was really angry, although he had heard this from Xu Ji's mouth just now, but when it came out of Guan Yu's mouth, it was another taste, and of course Chen Zhi was furious.

Zhang Fei said loudly when he heard this: "That's it, the second brother was the number one killer on the road in his early years, and his hand-to-hand combat ability was the first in the world, so why should a little Lejin be concerned?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Xu Ji was inexplicable when he heard it, why did Guan Yu become a killer? Forget it, I don't know much about history anyway, but looking at Guan Yu's behavior just now, it is clear that he has a strong anti-reconnaissance ability, but it looks like he has been a killer.

I only heard Guan Yu say coldly: "Yide, how many times have I told you?" Only the three of my brothers knew about the murder in my early years, why do you think about it and talk nonsense? ”

Liu Bei sighed lightly: "Second brother, do you think the foolish brother doesn't want to?" But have you ever thought about the consequences of doing this, it will only affect Lord Liu Yu, Xu Ji's awesomeness You are not ignorant of the way, in just one year, Yanzhou and Jizhou have become their own things, the worst is Han Fu, obviously Xu Ji plotted to take his Jizhou, but Han Fu ended up with a crime of bad intentions against the horse, and became a laughing stock that has been infamous for thousands of years, what Xu Ji is best at is to use various excuses to use troops against others, how can I Liu Bei give Xu Ji this opportunity? Le Jin is just an insignificant little person, there is no need to offend Xu Ji for killing him for drinking, and if you say that you are a person who harms your senior brother like this, it is not this Le Jin who we have to watch out for. ”

Zhang Fei said angrily: "The eldest brother also mentioned Liu Yu, he is obviously squeezing out the eldest brother." ”

Liu Bei scolded: "Yi Dexiu wants to talk nonsense, Lord Liu Yu will not doubt me!" Xu Ji didn't expect Liu Bei to have so much confidence in Liu Yu.

Guan Yu said in a deep voice: "Big brother, the third brother is right, to this day, I don't understand why the eldest brother is so sure that Lord Liu Yu trusts the eldest brother. Xu Ji and the others also pricked up their ears to listen.

Liu Bei was silent for a long time before he said: "Because of a legacy of the first emperor." ”

Guan Yu was surprised: "The first emperor's last life? ”

Liu Bei affirmed: "Yes, after the establishment of the dynasty by Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, I left behind the 'Guangwu Legacy'. (To be continued......)
