Speaking of this, Xu Ji actually has no interest in talking, it is true that the situation in front of him is not as good as imagined, and the so-called doctrine that Liang Xi perfected for him is a double-edged sword after all, which is probably what Liang Xi deliberately did in order to warn Xu Ji. But Xu Ji himself does not blame Liang Xi, today's Liang Xi is actually more outstanding than the talent in the real record, Liang Xi, who took on the affairs of a state early, has already surpassed his achievements in history, and it is this growth that makes his role under Xu Ji far more than the role of a political director.

Speaking from the heart, how can Xu Ji not be proud in his heart from scratch to today? If it weren't for Cao Liu's still there, Sun Ce rose in Jiangdong again, Xu Ji might not have really embarked on Dong Zhuo's old road, but these could not eliminate the disdain for the heroes of the world in his heart, he has almost been a smooth road since the Changshe, even if Chang'an is so dangerous for him, it is actually just a thrill, Dong Zhuo at that time did not dare to do anything to him, and Emperor Han Ling also needed to use his prestige to balance the other two forces, and it was precisely because of this that Xu Ji walked smoothly all the way, and even often had nobles to help, For him, this was nothing more than a breeding pride in him.

But Gao Shun's words were like a basin of ice water on dog days to sober him up, not to mention the hidden dangers in the future, Cao Cao and Liu Bei, at the moment, the two Yuan brothers are not so easy to deal with, although Yuan Shu chose to kill himself and become the emperor, but Yuan Shao took advantage of the situation, to put it bluntly, the Yuan family is not a person, although Yuan Shao has suffered a lot of damage in his own hands, but the foundation is still there. Yan Liangwen and the second general have not yet come out, although Tian Feng and Fu Zhu have not received it themselves, they will never help themselves to deal with Yuan Shao, and Guo Tu has improved after encountering captives. Although Guo Jia has a plan, it may not be a decision, if he is not careful, he will die, not to mention that Yuan Shao and his Xu Ji have a long-standing grudge, presumably Yuan Shao is still planning his own life.

And now Xu Ji has also found that too many things have violated history, and many people have surpassed the original height, Chen Zhi was originally a figure comparable to Zhao Yun, and was even hidden in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. But what about now? Zhao Yun is just a small cavalry general under Liu Bei, while Chen Zhi is already a famous general in the world, and he can even compete with Lu Bu. This is enough to explain everything, and Guo Jia also showed his demeanor early, and having his own presence will definitely not cause him to die young, what realm this ghost can go to is really curious. And Zhuge Liang, who was called "wise and close to demon" by later generations, still doesn't know where the road is.

So much calculation. Xu Ji couldn't help but have a big head, although he had done his best, but the current situation was still far from the unification he wanted, not to mention that several of his opponents were still hidden, but he was already the target of the public, which made Xu Ji once again raise his vigilance.

At this time, Gao Shun also turned to another matter: "Lord, you must already know about the Zhen family, right?" ”

Xu Ji snorted coldly when he heard this, and replied: "Naturally, I know, but as far as I can see, I am afraid that this matter has little to do with the Zhen family." Who doesn't have a few unscrupulous offspring? ”

Gao Shun nodded when he heard this, of course Xu Ji knew that Gao Shun was worried. But at this time, he really didn't have the leisure to comfort Gao Shun.

But after all, this Gao Shun is also a person who has followed him for a long time, Xu Ji can't ignore it, he smiled at Gao Shun and said: "The people in Yuan Shu think they are seamless, but they unknowingly brought Zhen Mi to Yuzhou, but they don't know that everything is in our hands, if we don't have to figure out all the hidden enemies in Jizhou, we have already started, how can we wait for so long?" ”

Gao Shun said with a smile: "The lord's move is very clever, all the places where Yuan Shu's people pass through must be strictly investigated, so that many big people who are hidden in my Jizhou to serve Yuan Shu have surfaced, because if there is no cover for them, Yuan Shu's people will not be able to penetrate Zhou Yue County at all, but they can't imagine that the front foot they just covered Yuan Shu's people retreated, and the back foot of our Yanzhou ghost arrived, and they were arrested one by one." In a short time, they will leave the territory of Jizhou, and at that time, it will be the best time for us to do it. It's just that I don't know how many families in the road will be affected. ”

Hearing this, Xu Ji snorted coldly again: "Because of this, I know how huge the influence of Yuan Shu in Jizhou is, so it's okay, these big families in the province are one thing in front of me and one thing behind their backs, and they are smiling against me, but secretly they are constantly destroying the daily affairs of Jizhou." I'm taking this opportunity to catch all these guys who don't know how to live or die! ”

Gao Shun sighed and said: "This problem exists in Yanzhou, Zhang Yan often complained to me two days ago, saying that although Lord Liang Xi's reform in Yanzhou is generally going smoothly, it is always not as handy as when Chen Liu, especially during the period when the lord pretended to be missing, those family members are even more stupid and refuse to cooperate, although Lord Liang Xi acts in accordance with the agreement specified with these family families, these family families are focused on finding fault with the details, which makes Liang Xi angry but helpless. But now that Zhang Yan is pretending to rebel, these big families will immediately reveal their true form, and secretly contact Zhang Yan one by one, asking people to give people and food to food. ”

Xu Ji shook his head when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Didn't that Zhang Yan make a fortune?" He wouldn't be so stupid to refuse, would he? ”

Gao Shun smiled: "Where will Zhang Yan be polite?" Reach out and don't hit the smiling person, let alone give you a gift? I think Zhang Yan is accepting with peace of mind, but I heard from his subordinates that he always uses his eyes to stare at other people's necks when accepting these things, and I don't know what he is thinking, I asked him later, but this kid told me that he was calculating how much time these people's heads would stay on their necks. ”

Xu Ji couldn't help but laugh and quipped: "Zhang Yan, this kid, the robber is too unprofessional, generally after saying 'I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, if you want to live from now on, leave to buy road money', if the other party offers money with both hands, he should let people live, how can there be a reason to rob people's property and rob people's lives?" No, when I see him, I will teach him what it means to be a thief. ”

Gao Shun burst into laughter when he heard this, and said to Xu Ji: "The lord's words are reasonable. If I encounter this kind of robber, it will be asking for no money, let alone death. ”

Xu Ji didn't expect Gao Shun, a person who usually doesn't smile, to risk such a sentence. I couldn't help but laugh.

As he spoke, the curtain of the big tent was lifted, and a figure as agile as a leopard flashed out.

When Xu Ji saw the joy, he hurriedly stood up and greeted him, and the person who came was none other than Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan saw Xu Ji as soon as he saw him. turned over and bowed, but was stopped by Xu Ji, Xu Ji looked at Zhang Yan. Nodding his head, he said, "Zhang Yan, you are doing a good job. For my Yanzhou, I actually let you bear the name of rebellion, and after you eliminate Er Yuan, I will return your innocence! ”

Zhang Yan was embarrassed. The old blushed. Turning his head, he nodded to Gao Shun, who was smiling on the side, as a greeting.

The three of them sat down, Xu Ji talked about the conversation with Gao Shun just now, the three of them laughed again, Xu Ji said to Zhang Yan: "I think we might as well drag on for a while, our two armies pretend to fight, regardless of victory or defeat, in this way." The clans of Yanzhou will definitely send their supplies over in a steady stream. ”

Zhang Yan pondered for a long time and said to Xu Ji: "If that's the case." It is best to let General Gao Shun defeat a few battles first, so as to strengthen the determination of those great families. ”

After a pause, he said: "And because of the lord's great victory in Hedong, now Yuan Shu has slowed down the pace of entering Yanzhou a little, if we don't introduce all Yuan Shu's troops into Yanzhou, how can we eliminate Yuan Shu's vitality?" ”

Immediately, he couldn't help but say: "My lord, you have used your tactics in Hedong repeatedly, and several wars have been fought very wonderfully, which is really a model of siege warfare." Gao Shun also nodded again and again.

Xu Ji nodded, but it was not because of Zhang Yan's praise, but because Zhang Yan said that Yuan Shu was a little hesitant now, and said in his heart that this was a trouble, and after thinking for a while, he said: "It's okay, but you can't go too far, after all, the Yanzhou army under Zihe is the most elite army in my Yanzhou, and the prestige of Zihe is even more than the head of the Yanzhou generals. ”

Zhang Yan nodded and said, "Of course, it's best to have a mutual victory or defeat." There are back and forth to be said to be evenly matched, what do you say, my lord? ”

Gao Shun smiled: "That's it, I think we can perform a play, the world only knows that I Gao Shun is a master of charging into battle, but I don't know how my martial arts are, Zhang Yan, you might as well invite the battle tomorrow, we will fight three hundred rounds before the battle between the two armies, and then defeat in your hands?" ”

Xu Ji couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "Three hundred rounds of battle? The son and you are talking exaggerated now. ”

Zhang Yan nodded and said: "Just do what Zihe and General said, but this will be wronged by Zihe General, I know that I am definitely not Zihe's opponent." ”

Of course, Xu Ji knows this, in Yanzhou, if it is about martial arts, Gao Shun, Wen Ping, and Xu Huang are only among the best, and it is difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat.

Gao Shun obviously thought of this, and couldn't help but look gloomy and said: "It's a pity that this kid Wenpin left too early, otherwise there would be his heroic galloping posture on the battlefield today." ”

Xu Ji sighed and said, "This is probably the biggest mistake in my life. ”

Gao Shun and Zhang Yan naturally comforted them.

Then he talked about Yuan Shu, Xu Ji remembered that he hadn't seen Liang Xi until now, and when he asked, he realized that Liang Xi had pretended to be defeated and retreated to Yanjin, Baima, Pingqiu, and Wuchao, pretending to be deployed across the river. The reason why Zhang Yan's army came to Dongping was to give Yuan Shu an illusion: because it was unfavorable for Zhang Yan's army to cross the river, he wanted to cross the river to Fanxian, and then attack several cities defended by Liang Xi in the southwest direction. Then in the process of marching, he encountered Gao Shun's army, and he was always in a tug-of-war, completely exposing his rear to his other "enemy" Liang Xi.

In this way, in order to cooperate with Zhang Yan's military operations, Yuan Shu will not empty Zhang Yan's rear and prevent Liang Xi from crossing the river by surprise to attack Zhang Yan's army, he will definitely go deep alone and block the back road for Zhang Yan, who pretends to fight with Gao Shun.

After listening to the introduction of the two, Xu Ji thought about it in his heart, and felt that in this way, Yuan Shu's marching route had been fixed, and he was overjoyed: "Since we have already decided on a strategy, then we can act like this, Zhang Yan, you will win a few big battles first, and wait until Yuan Shu's five-way army penetrates into my Yanzhou." We'll defeat them one by one. ”

The two of them responded with a bang.

Xu Ji stood up and came to the sand table placed in the middle of the big tent. Looking at the simulated mountains and rivers above, he muttered: "How did Yuan Shu's five-way army advance after entering Yanzhou? ”

These words were obviously asking Zhang Yan, Zhang Yan and Gao Shun had already come to Xu Ji's side at this time. At the same time, look at the sand table.

Zhang Yan said to Xu Ji in a deep voice: "Lord, Yuan Shu, this traitor is very protective of me, I think he just wants to use me, he just said to support my food, grass and soldiers, as for his marching route, it is simply unclear. ”

Gao Shun snorted on the side and said, "This Yuan Shu has a good calculation to support the grain, grass and soldiers? These are the merits of the great families of Yanzhou. What does it have to do with him? ”

Xu Ji smiled and said to Zhang Yan: "Zhang Yan, it seems that your reputation is very bad, you said that Yuan Shu is just using you?" I don't think Yuan Shu is so smart. But Zhang Yan, you have never been truly obedient to anyone before, and this time you rebelled against my Yanzhou, do you say that Yuan Shu will have confidence in you? ”

Zhang Yan was embarrassed by Xu Ji's words, and scratched her head without using her hands. Hey laughed.

Xu Ji looked at the sand table. Playing carefully, he said in a deep voice: "Now Zihe's army is in Dong'e, and Zhang Yan's army is in Dongping, from the topography, the southwest of the two places is the Yellow River, and behind Dong'e is Jinan County in Yanzhou. ”

The two nodded, and Xu Ji pointed to the sand table and said, "If I were Yuan Shu, the army of the Five Routes should be assembled in Qian County." Then, with Qianjun as the rear, they began to attack our Yanzhou. ”

Gao Shun looked at the sand table and said, "If you start from Qian County." Yuan Shu's army should go north, and there is a tiger prison in Xutian and Chenliu north of Xutian, after all, Yanjin, Baima, Pingqiu, and Wuchao are our world, and there is a big river as a support, it is impossible for Yuan Shu not to pay attention to here, otherwise we can cross the river at any time and copy Yuan Shu's back road. ”

Zhang Yan deliberately frowned and said, "It seems that you can also copy my back road!" ”

Xu Ji and Gao Shun laughed.

Xu Ji looked at the two and said: "Yuan Shu will definitely be deployed here, don't forget that the army led by Xu Huang in Hedong gave Yuan Shu the illusion that it was going to attack his Yuzhou army, although Yuan Shu had already sent two armies to deploy in Yingchuan County, but Xu Huang's army also did not have to bypass Shouyang Mountain, and set off directly from Anyi, and went straight to Jiguan into Hanoi. Therefore, the Tiger Prison Pass is a must-defend place for Yuan Shu. ”

The two nodded, and Gao Shun said in a deep voice: "The lord's plan to lure the enemy is really clever, an army under my command under the command of Xu Huang actually led the three armies of Yuan Shu to leave my Yanzhou battlefield, and the most interesting thing is that Zhang Yun, who was identified as the target of the attack, was at a loss and did not know that death was coming. It's just that I don't know who Lu Dao Yuan Shu will send to defend Xu Tian, Chen Liu, and the front line of Tiger Prison Pass? ”

Xu Ji said with a smile: "Zhang Xun under Yuan Shu is brave and strategic, I think Yuan Shu will send him to guard, right?" ”

Gao Shun frowned and said: "I have heard of this person, and it is said that He Ji Ling is the most effective general under Yuan Shu. ”

Xu Ji nodded and said with a smile: "But this person is not enough, I said that he is brave and strategic, that is relative to the group of fools under Yuan Shu's hands." ”

The two laughed.

Xu Ji said contemptuously: "It's not that I look down on Yuan Shu, there is no strategist and general under his hands who can handle it." ”

The two nodded, Xu Ji looked at his "old base" Chen Liu, and remembered a person: "By the way, how is Zhang Miao doing recently?" ”

Gao Shun snorted coldly: "He has already surrendered to Yuan Shu." ”

Xu Ji was surprised: "So fast? I thought that Zhang Miao, the coward, should not surrender until after Yuan Shu arrived. ”

Zhang Yan said disdainfully: "Someone instigated, why not be happy?" ”

Xu Ji was amused: "Oh? Who has such a great ability to tease Zhang Miao? ”

Zhang Yan said casually: "I heard that it is a person named Chen Gong, right?" ”

Xu Ji lost his voice when he heard this: "Chen Gong? ”

It turned out to be him!

After all, Xu Ji missed a step, this Chen Gong is the person he missed, the Chen Palace in this history can be regarded as an extraordinary person, when it comes to strategy, Cao Cao can calculate Cao Cao's suspicion, and it is made by attacking his heart, only this Chen Gong is really defeated by Cao Cao in strategy, and he calculated, Cao Cao's ability Xu Ji naturally understands that Cao Mengde himself can be called a first-rate strategist, and Chen Gong, who can calculate Cao Cao, is naturally also a strategist of this level.

Of course, this is not to say that the rest of the calculations Cao Cao's ability is not strong, but Chen Gong is the only one who has defeated Cao Cao in strategy, although Chen Gong's ability to fight is really a little poor, but his overall view of the situation is breathtaking, Xu Ji is afraid that only Xun Yu in the rear of the commander-in-chief can be compared, of course, Chen Gong and Xun Yu are different, Xun Yu is longer than governance, and Chen Gong is undoubtedly better in military affairs.

But this did not affect Xu Ji's evaluation of Chen Gong, if Lu Bu could have listened to this strategy, Cao Cao might not have been able to become the overlord of the Central Plains in history. To say that he has no idea about Chen Gong is naturally false, but Xu Ji knows better that he is afraid that he will not be able to get this adviser, Chen Gong is a standard child of a family, and he is a little prejudiced against his humble background, even if he does not, but the contradiction between the two sides cannot be reconciled, and this contradiction even makes Xu Ji suspicious of Xun Yu, and it can even be said that the reason why Xun Yu is not alone now is because Xu Ji is not at ease.

That's why Xu Ji was so shocked after hearing the name of Chen Gong.

This is not an easy mastermind to deal with. (To be continued......)
