Xu Ji just didn't expect that Liang Xi's vision was so sharp that he could see this problem in a short period of time, if it was Xun Yu or his teacher Sima Hui, it would be a normal thing.

Thinking of this, Xu Ji smiled and said to Liang Xi: "In your opinion, what should Feng Xiao and I do?" ”

Liang Xi said in a deep voice: "First of all, the lord may wish to write a letter to Mr. Guo Jia first, to reassure him, and then to destroy Yuan Shao in the shortest possible time, and then occupy Yanzhou, and at the same time let General Gao Shun and General Le Jin defeat Gongsun Zhan, so that the world knows that there are not only Guo Jia under the lord's command, but also Gao Shun, Le Jin and others, they can all seize the state and county for the lord." In this way, the lord shall be more and more famous. In this way, everyone in the world knows that although Mr. Guo Jia is powerful, he is still under the control of the lord, so the rumors are self-defeating. ”

Hearing this, Xu Ji nodded and said, "You said it very well, you might as well talk about what Fengxiao should do." ”

Liang Xi said in a deep voice: "I think the most important thing for Mr. Guo Jia to do now is to stay away from the Zhen family. ”

As soon as Xu Ji was told by Liang Xi, his mind immediately turned quickly, and he immediately felt that Liang Xi was right, the Zhen family was indeed a problem, maybe it was different from other clans, and it was not completely dependent on land, but the Zhen family now had 50,000 elite soldiers, which was definitely a threat.

It was true that they united Zhen and Han Fu to deal with Yuan Shao before, and now they are united with Zhen to deal with Han Fu, and now Yuan Shao and Han Fu are no longer able to control Jizhou, in a sense, the Zhen family has become their biggest enemy in Jizhou.

Just talking about the issue of one clan soldier is the biggest difference between the two, Xu Ji will never allow the family to have a private army. But will the Zhen family give up their rights?

Speaking of other reforms that Xu Ji has been effective in implementing since Chen Liu. That will definitely touch the interests of the Zhen family, although the Zhen family is mainly in business. The restructuring does not have a big impact on them, but the question is who wants to give up the rights in hand? The Zhen family is the largest grain controller in Jizhou. And Xu Ji obviously wants to take this control over, which means that the Zhen family has lost its transcendent status in the troubled times, and the family members in Jizhou no longer have to look at her face to be a man. How can this be tolerated by the Zhen family?

Now Guo Jia is obviously in the middle of it, not to mention anything else, when defeating Yuan Shao, Chen Zhi led the Zhen family's clan soldiers, if Xu Ji wants to incorporate the Zhen family's clan soldiers in the future, it will be difficult for Xu Ji and Guo Jia to do it.

Xu Ji, the wife of the Zhen family, has never seen it, but she has the vision and courage to cooperate with Xu Ji when Xu Ji's strength and power are far inferior to Yuan Shao's before, and she must be a very powerful person. Don't even think about it. This Mrs. Zhang will definitely take all kinds of tricks against Guo Jia, although it is impossible to really shake Guo Jia's loyalty to herself, but Mrs. Zhang will definitely use Guo Jia as a shield when necessary.

"Greed is not enough to swallow elephants" is the root of human inferiority, Mrs. Zhang cooperated with herself because if Yuan Shao entered Jizhou, the Zhen family would be annexed by the Yuan family by marriage, although cooperating with herself will weaken the power of the Zhen family to a certain extent, but it is better than being wiped out, right?

Now that Yuan Shao can no longer threaten the Zhen family, if this Mrs. Zhang is honest enough that if she does not seek more benefits for the Zhen family in this case, then the Zhen family may have been annexed long ago.

In this case. Establishing a good relationship with Guo Jia has become the primary consideration of the Zhen family.

Thinking of this, Xu Ji said to Liang Xi: "I understand what you mean, but this matter is not in a hurry, let's talk to Guo Jia in person when I arrive in Yecheng." ”

Liang Xi nodded. After all, no one can say to what extent Guo Jia's relationship with the Zhen family has reached. This matter can only be solved by Xu Ji personally going to Yecheng. Even if you talk to Guo Jia now, it's useless, after all, the Zhen family has a heavy army, and it's really easy to do something.

But in the future, Xu Ji led a heavy army to Jizhou. That's different, there is Gao Shun's army. The Zhen family did not dare to act rashly at all.

It's just that Xu Ji and Liang Xi couldn't imagine that in fact, Mrs. Zhang had already begun to attack Guo Jia for the future fate of the Zhen family. And Guo Jia really fell in love with Mrs. Zhang's way.

Of course, Guo Jia knew what a troublesome thing it would be if he really shared the bed with Mrs. Zhang.

However, at this time, Xu Ji didn't know everything, he cheered up and said: "In this way, we will defeat Yuan Shao and go to Jizhou to meet Fengxiao!" ”

The crowd roared into orders.

Yanzhou, Yuan Shao on the way to escape. The two sides of this official road are covered with lush trees, and the trees bear a lot of wild fruits, and they exude an attractive fragrance.

When he ran away, Yuan Shao couldn't remember clearly. Looking back at the soldiers who followed him at this moment, he almost cried, although he had gathered his troops and horses on the road many times, but now there were less than 20,000 soldiers following him. The only thing to be thankful for is that Chen Zhi withdrew his troops after pursuing for a period of time, and there was no taste of killing them at all. Otherwise, Yuan Shao would not know how many people were left in the road at this moment.

Look at the subordinates around him, except for one Feng Ji who is still following him, the others have completely disappeared, but they know that Su You died in the chaos of the army, and the trial match was captured alive by Chen Zhisheng.

But fortunately, after all, he escaped alive, as long as he returned to Chenliu, he would have a chance to breathe, and at the same time, he would also get a chance to make a comeback, and then he would fight Xu Ji to the death.

Thinking of this, Yuan Shao's heart was relieved, and seeing that the soldiers were really tired, he ordered the soldiers to rest on the side of the road. Yuan Shaojun's soldiers threw away their weapons as if they were amnesty, and lay on the side of the road panting. Even Yuan Shao and Feng Ji were no exception, sitting on the side of the road so tired that they couldn't say a word, and they completely lost the desire to speak.

After a while, some soldiers who had regained their strength stood up and looked for some wild fruits to eat, and some of them put these wild fruits in front of Yuan Shao and asked Yuan Shao to eat them.

If it were a change from the past, where would Yuan Shao take these things to heart? At this moment, I was hungry and barely ate a wild fruit. I found that the taste was surprisingly good, and I couldn't help but eat a few in a row.

Yuan Shao filled his stomach. I was in a better mood before I had to speak. However, the sound of drums was heard, and tens of thousands of enemies rushed out of the dense forest and launched an all-out onslaught against Yuan Shao's army.

Where will Yuan Shao be prepared? Seeing the enemy attacking, Yuan Shao reflexively turned over his horse and began to die. It's just that the soldiers under their hands are suffering, and when they are caught off guard, they throw down the wild fruits in their hands, and they don't even have time to lead the horses, so they flee for their lives alone.

The attack, of course, was Xu Ji's ambushed army. The flag fluttering in the wind was embroidered with the word "Xu" in large letters. After several onslaughts from Xu Ji's army, Yuan Shaojun's troops had already collapsed, and everyone was running on foot to flee for their lives.

It turned into a massacre with little to no resistance. Tall cavalry, shiny sabers, sharp spears...... One weapon after another shocked and burned Yuan Shaojun's soldiers' last bit of desire for life.

As soon as Yuan Shao saw this banner, he immediately felt desperate, knowing that he would not be spared today, so he wanted to draw his sword and kill himself, not wanting to be humiliated in Xu Ji's hands. But he was hugged by Feng Ji beside him, begged Yuan Shao not to do stupid things, and summoned a soldier who was loyal to Yuan Shao. changed clothes with Yuan Shao, and after the little soldier was dressed neatly and got on the horse, Feng Ji took out his sword and slashed at the horse. The thorny horse neighed and ran forward.

Yuan Shao and Feng Ji took advantage of the chaos to flee with their own soldiers. Fortunately, this wooded place is not conducive to arrow attacks. Otherwise, Yuan Shao and Feng Ji would have been shot down. At this moment, they had no time to care about other things, only to hear shouts and killings all around. It's terrible.

Not long after escaping, he heard an earth-shattering shout behind him. Yuan Shaozhi said that it was the cheers of victory of Xu Ji's corporaries.

Yuan Shao looked behind him in a panic, he couldn't bear the annoyance in his heart anymore, he roared, a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, and slowly fell down in Feng Ji's call......

At this time, only Xu Ji's hearty laughter and the cheers of his troops were left.

In June 192, Yuan Shao, who had suffered successive defeats in Jizhou and Yanzhou, became depressed. Under the repeated attacks of the Gaoshun army under the command of Xu Ji, he could not gain a foothold in Yanzhou, and finally had to choose to withdraw from Yanzhou, and the desperate Yuan Shao had no choice but to take refuge in his younger brother Yuan Shu in desperation.

However, no one would pity Yuan Shao, because Xu Ji issued an announcement to the world, adding fuel to the fact that Yuan Shao sent someone to assassinate Guo Jia and forced Han Fu to join forces with him to be unfavorable to Qingzhou. even turned out Yuan Shao's old account of wanting to make Liu Yu the emperor.

The truth is always on the side of the winner, where does Yuan Shao now have the time and strength to fight with Guo Jia? So of course Xu Ji can say whatever he wants, coupled with the hype of those with excellent writing, for a while, Yuan Shao became infamous and became the loser of the Yuan family. If anyone joins forces with Yuan Shao, it will simply be an enemy of the entire Central Plains. As for Yuan Shao's vain discussion of abolishing the emperor, it has become a major stain on Yuan Shao's political career.

A little time ago, under the advocacy of Xu Ji and Liu Yu, the recognition of the throne of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty became the mainstream of public opinion in the world, so Yuan Shao's advocacy when he was in the alliance of the princes made Yuan Shao spurned by the people of the world.

After this matter developed to the most embarrassing, whoever joined forces with Yuan Shao became the public enemy of the world.

The most affected by this incident should be Yanzhou Assassin Liu Dai, his strength was completely exhausted by Bocai's all-encompassing methods, Liu Dai was extremely angry, but there was nowhere to vent, at this time, a letter came from the Liu family in Qingzhou, Liu Dai's father Liu Fang was seriously ill.

Liu Dai, who was in trouble at home and abroad, finally gave in, first submitted his resignation to the imperial court, and simply recommended Xu Ji as the assassin of Yanzhou.

In fact, this is just a formality, and when there was no reaction from Chang'an, Xu Ji had already taken office and became a new generation of Yanzhou assassins.

At the same time, Gongsun Zhan, who cooperated with Yuan Shao, really sent troops to attack Gao Shunsu's army as Liang Xi expected, but was fully monitored Liang Xi was the first to detect it, on the one hand, he pretended to be unprepared and fled southward, and on the other hand, he took the first step to inform the Lejin army in Bohai and ordered it to move towards Fanyang County.

Lejin was originally not famous, but now he was even more unprepared, quickly conquered Fanyang County, and also made a posture of attacking Beiping on the right side of Lu. To Gongsun Zhan's surprise, Liu Yu, the assassin of Youzhou, actually ignored this matter.

Gongsun Zhan, who got the news, was furious and immediately returned to Fanyang County, but at this time, Gao Shun's army went and returned. And showed terrifying combat effectiveness, and wiped out Gongsun Zhan's 2,000 "White Horse Righteous Servants" in just one battle. Gongsun Chan didn't dare to fight. After regrouping the troops, they marched to Fanyang County. It is hoped that the speed of cavalry will widen the distance between Gao Shun and Gao Shun, a heavy force with a heavy load.

And Gao Shun did not chase after Xu Ji's order, but rushed to Anxi according to the original plan.

And Gongsun Zhan, who hurried back, encountered the Lejin Department who set up an ambush on the way. Gongsun Zhan's white horse Yi outside the Weizhen plug was a remnant and was defeated in front of the cavalry of Chen Zhi brought by Lejin, Gongsun Chan fled in embarrassment, but Yuan Tan found out that something was wrong first, sneaked away halfway, took the route to Merge Zhou, and came all the way to Yuzhou.

After the Lejin Department defeated Gongsun Zhan, Liu Yu stood up as a peacemaker as Liang Xi expected, and Lejin strictly obeyed Xu Ji's orders and only asked Liu Yu to hand over Gongsun Zhan. Nothing else matters.

This matter caused a lot of controversy within Youzhou, and Liu Yu's subordinates were divided into two factions, one faction thought that Gongsun Zhan was an official in Youzhou after all, so how could he be handed over to Xu Ji for disposal? Besides, Gongsun Chan is a rare talent, and if he takes this opportunity to take it for his own use, wouldn't it be a good thing?

The other faction believes that taking in Gongsun Chan is to offend Xu Ji and is the way to defeat, not to mention that Gongsun Chan is unruly and difficult to subdue. You should take this opportunity to clean up Gongsun Zhan.

The two factions have their own opinions, and neither can convince the other. And this is exactly the result of Xu Ji, and Lejin is naturally happy to watch jokes.

However, this gave Gongsun Chan a chance to breathe. Gongsun Zhan returned to Youbeiping, ostensibly waiting for Liu Yu's treatment, but secretly began to recruit troops. In order to make a comeback.

And this result is, of course, what Xu Ji wants, and Youzhou is in a big mess.

In the council hall of the Yecheng Assassin's Mansion.

Xu Ji, who came with the wind and dust all the way, did not feel the slightest tiredness, but was full of energy.

Before Xu Ji came. Guo Jia had already received Xu Ji's handwritten letter, and the content was naturally written according to Liang Xi's meaning. Guo Jia couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he saw it, and at the same time he was full of gratitude for Xu Ji's care and trust.

Therefore. When the two met, there was not the slightest mustard in their hearts.

Looking at the Jizhou officials gathered in the hall, Xu Ji said in high spirits: "Jizhou is full of treasures, outstanding people, and the monarchs are famous and fierce generals at home and abroad. ”

Everyone was polite to Xu Ji.

Xu Ji stood up and said: "Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, my great Han morality has been unified, and the world has been disturbed, the reason is because of the decline of the Han Dynasty, virtue is not in the palm of my Son of Heaven, so that the princes of the world do whatever they want, now I Xu Ji is not talented, I want to level the world and return the rivers and mountains to my emperor, the monarchs are outstanding, and they will help me complete this grand wish, and the world will be bright!" How? ”

Everyone said angrily: "Dare not swear to die!" ”

Fighting the snake and climbing the pole, Guo Jia and Xu Ji have a very tacit understanding between them, and when they saw this scene, they said: "Lord, the so-called 'country cannot be without a monarch for a day', Jizhou is newly determined, internal and foreign affairs, a thousand things, and there can be no governor of the state for a day. ”

As soon as Guo Jia said this, Gao Shun and other generals under Xu Ji naturally said yes.

Xu Ji was humble and had to agree.

At this time, Zhen Yan, the representative of the Zhen family, said: "It is natural for the lord to lead my Jizhou, but in this way, the burden of Yanzhou and Jizhou completely falls on the lord. ”

Zhen Yan's words immediately caused everyone in the hall to discuss.

The people on Xu Ji's side were unhappy at first when they heard this, but after thinking about it carefully, they had to admit that Zhen Yan's words were very reasonable, after all, there were many inconvenient places for Xu Ji to rule the two states alone. If Xu Ji could find someone to carry out the order in place of Xu Ji, it would certainly be very ideal.

But Guo Jia and Xu Ji's faces changed slightly at the same time when they heard this.

The reason why Guo Jia's face changed was that he didn't expect that the Zhen family, who had always been obedient to him, would actually express his opinion at this time, which was absolutely wrong, and he couldn't help but look at Zhen Yan, but Zhen Yan didn't look at Guo Jia at all.

Xu Ji is even more vigilant, it is this Zhen family again!

In fact, Zhen Yan's suggestion is quite reasonable, according to Xu Ji's original plan, he was to take the name of Jizhou Assassin History, and then appoint someone to be Jizhou's other driver to help him take care of Jizhou affairs.

Zhen Yan's proposal and Xu Ji's idea are similar, but the difference is whether Xu Ji ascends to the position of Jizhou Assassin.

And the problem is precisely this, Jizhou Thorn History is the largest official position in a state, and at the administrative level, it is the same level as his Yanzhou Thorn History, if he appoints a person to serve as Jizhou Thorn History, then there will be a joke that Yanzhou Thorn History governs Jizhou Thorn History, which is even more unreasonable.

And of course, in addition to Xu Ji, there is Guo Jia who can see Zhen Yan's intentions, but of course Xu Ji is not good to say much at this time, after all, the party is Guo Jia, and everything needs Guo Jia to say it himself is the best result. (To be continued......)
