After Xun Yu made a big plan for Xu Ji, it was already dinnertime, Xu Ji hadn't been together with the two for a long time, and he frequently persuaded the two to drink during dinner, and the three of them had a big drink. Xu Ji is also really a little weak-hearted, Xun Yu himself doesn't seem to have so many distracting thoughts, but Xu Ji has a lot of suspicions about Xun Yu due to the records of later generations, so there is such a toast.

Fortunately, the three of them are all excellent types of alcohol, and they have always been more self-controlled after taking on their own responsibilities, so there was no situation of getting drunk and singing.

During the banquet, Xu Ji even talked about the beginning and end of the Battle of Chang'an, during which the thrilling situation made Guo Jia stunned, and Xun Yu was also wonderful. Especially when they heard about Pang Tong and his people, Guo Jia and Xun Yu were even more shocked, they didn't expect that there would be such a shocking scheming person here.

Of course, Guo Jia was very excited, and Xun Yu immediately thought of Deng Ai, a genius who was almost the next generation of Yanzhou that Xu Ji had deliberately cultivated.

Of course, Xu Ji also wanted Deng Ai to face Pang Tong, but the problem was that Deng Ai was now leading the army in Lelang County in Liaodong, and it was impossible to come back. As for hearing that Xu Ji's archery skills did not take Liu Bei's life, the two of them sighed loudly.

If Liu Bei died, the benefits to Xu Ji would of course be self-evident. It's a pity that things often go awry.

It was night, and the three of them and Xu Zi would fall asleep, talking about the world, and they didn't know when they would go to sleep. The next morning, Xu Ji reported to Liu Xiehe and the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu the latest battle situation in the Central Plains.

When Liu Xie heard that Yuan Shao had committed suicide, a light of great pleasure flashed in his eyes, obviously hating Yuan Shao to the extreme.

Forthwith. The next question comes: who will be the assassin of Yuzhou. Although Yuzhou is a state in the north, it is not included in Liu Xie's reward for Xu Ji. Therefore, Xu Ji has no right to directly appoint the candidate for Yuzhou Rashi. That's why I brought this issue to the court for discussion.

This matter caused a fierce debate in the court, and Xu Ji certainly wanted to hold the appointment of Yuzhou Rashi in his hands. Wang Zifu and others argued on the basis of reason, they believed that according to the practice of the imperial court, the post of Yuzhou Rashi should be proposed by the local local forces in Yuzhou. and then approved and appointed by the imperial court. How could Xu Ji tolerate this happening? He resolutely opposed this appointment method on the grounds that the Yuzhou family aided the clan and helped Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu to rebel. And his attitude was extremely arrogant, and he even said to Liu Xie that the person who put forward this statement was a great rebellion, and his heart could be punished. This is naturally so angry that Wang Zifu and others are smoking.

Of course, Liu Xie knew that he shouldn't indulge Xu Ji too much, but Liu Xie knew better that he actually had no real power at all, and Xu Ji's characteristic of doing things was that he liked to find a high-sounding reason the most. If you want to veto Xu Ji's proposal, then you have to find a way to defeat Xu Ji first, otherwise Xu Ji will definitely not change his mind, and you can't do anything with him, after all, the entire army in Chang'an is Xu Ji's. What's more, the reason Xu Ji said poked his heart? Xu Ji was right, those big families in Yuzhou first supported Yuan Shu. Later, when he saw that Yuan Shu was no longer good, he turned to support Yuan Shao, this kind of person is indeed condemnable to Liu Xie.

Therefore, in the face of the opinions of both sides, Liu Xie was extremely hesitant and did not know where to go. Wang Zifu is indeed a talent. As soon as he saw Liu Xie's hesitation, he knew that his proposal was difficult to pass. Immediately improvised and proposed a second plan: let Zhang Xiudi's uncle Zhang Ji serve as the assassin of Yuzhou. This proposal is extremely reasonable, first of all, Zhang Ji is Zhang Xiu's uncle. There is no second heart for the imperial court. Therefore, Xu Ji's reason for opposing the Yuzhou family as the assassin of Yuzhou does not apply to Zhang Ji, and secondly, Zhang Ji is now in Gepo. There is no need to move the people to move, and there is a convenient way to get the moon first near the water.

As soon as this idea was proposed, Liu Xie immediately agreed.

looked at Liu Xie's appearance. Xu Ji knew that Liu Xie really wanted to win over Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu. And letting Zhang Ji serve as the assassin of Yuzhou is an excellent means to win over Zhang Xiu. Of course, Xu Ji spoke out against it, no matter from which point of view. Xu Ji had to make that gesture.

First of all, I have a strategic question about Hanzhong. According to his own plan, he hoped that Zhang Ji's army would drive to Lushi City, in order to attack Hanzhong's army from the flank as a backup.

However, Wang Zifu's proposal made Xu Ji's heart move, and it would be a good choice to make Zhang Ji the assassin of Yuzhou. thought that in this way, he could realize his plan to eradicate dissident forces in Chang'an. For Xu Ji. Now the biggest problem is that Chang'an can't distinguish between friend and foe, except for Wang Zifu and others, everyone else sees him with a smile, but no one knows what idea he has in his heart, Wang Zifu They must have other henchmen in secret, but the problem is that they are new to Chang'an, and they don't know much about the situation in Chang'an, so it is extremely difficult to deal with it. It also makes me do things on my own and look forward to the future. Therefore, Xu Ji asked Zhang Xiu, who seemed to be neutral in the Chang'an forces but had actually become his confidant, to accept Liu Xie's overtures, and slowly leaned towards Liu Xie, taking the opportunity to find out the true situation of opposing his own forces in Chang'an, in order to achieve this purpose, Xu Ji had deliberately snubbed Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu some time ago, and on the second day after they returned to Chang'an, Xu Ji ordered Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu to return to the front line of Shenling in the name of Da Sikong, without delay, and the two did not go to see each other off when they went out of the city. gave people the illusion that Xu Ji didn't like Zhang Xiu. When Xu Ji first came to Chang'an, he once praised Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu in front of Liu Xie, saying that they were the pillars of the country. is a great loyal minister, and he also personally went to the front line to issue Liu Xie's reward for the two, obviously making a gesture to win over the two. Who knows that when the party Xu Ji returned to Chang'an, Xu Ji and the two were like strangers, no one knew what was going on, but it gave people infinite reverie, that is, Xu Ji ran to the front line of Shenling to please the two, but he had a hot face and a cold ass, Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu did not buy Xu Ji, so Xu Ji waited for an opportunity to retaliate after returning to the capital, and asked the two to go to the front line of Shenling immediately, and took not sending each other as their own attitude

In this way, in the eyes of outsiders, they still think that Xu Ji does not have an absolute advantage in Chang'an. Controlled by Liu Xie, the eighth lieutenant of Xiyuan is in the Xiliang army plus Zhang Xiu, and in terms of the number of troops, it is not much worse than Xu Ji. From Liu Xie's point of view. As long as Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu are in their hands, they are in Chang'an City. He has the capital to compete with Xu Jiyi, so that Wang Zifu and others can boldly and willingly contact Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu. And he also has the opportunity to wipe out all the forces that oppose him. After all, there has to be a reason to go on a killing spree.

However, Xu Ji was still worried that this would be too heavy, for fear of being seen through by the schemers.

It's good now, they would actually propose that Zhang Ji be appointed as the assassin of Yuzhou, then of course they have to vigorously oppose it, and the more fierce the opposition, the better. Otherwise, how can they miss the illusion that Zhang Xiu is incompatible with themselves? Xu Ji's reason for opposition was that now that the war in Hanzhong was tense, Zhang Xiu's army should be transferred back to Chang'an to assist Zhang Xiu's army in attacking Hanzhong and Xiliang.

This proposal made Liu Xie hesitate again. For him. If Zhang Ji returns to Chang'an, as long as Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu are loyal to him, then he can have an advantage in Chang'an.

But the problem is that according to Xu Ji, neither Zhang Ji nor Zhang Xiu can garrison Chang'an. It's about going out to fight. This intention is very obvious, obviously he wants to weaken the power of Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu by fighting with the Hanzhong and Xiliang armies, how could Liu Xie allow this kind of thing to happen? But Xu Ji is a big sikong, and it makes sense to say such things in his capacity. If Zhang Ji can gain a foothold in Yuzhou, he can develop freely, and he can also recruit troops in the name of the emperor. Moreover, the grain, grass and other materials can be self-sufficient, and there is no need to be like after returning to Chang'an, everything still has the snort of the people who look up to Xu Ji.

Therefore. Liu Xie categorically rejected Xu Jidi's proposal and ordered Zhang Ji to be the assassin of Yuzhou. As soon as this order was given, Xu Ji stopped arguing. After all, he and Liu Xie haven't torn their faces yet, and if they are too fearless, they may let someone with a heart get pregnant with Zhang Xiu's body. After all, only a powerful minister who leans towards the government and the opposition would do that, since he has made up his mind to turn Zhang Xiu into bait. Don't give up halfway. Xu Ji has always paid more attention to details and thinks about Cao Cao in history. It is because he is not careful and cautious that he always offends Liu Xie in details, so that in the end, he can't even do superficial work, and he will give so many opponents to him.

Of course, Wang Zifu and the others were overjoyed, feeling that they had won back for a while, and they felt that things were not completely under Xu Ji's hands.

Of course, Xu Ji was deeply disappointed on the surface, but he was already happy in his heart. Immediately, Xu Ji put forward a second proposal: because after Wang Yun's death, there was no one to take up the position of Da Situ, and Xu Ji proposed that Xun Yu take the position.

Xun Yu's name is of course known to everyone in the world, he is not only the great Confucian of the world, but also the real host of the construction of Yanzhou, to this day, the prosperity of Yanzhou is obvious to all, in the process of crusading against Yuan Shu, Xun Yu personally wrote a letter against Yuan, so that the person to serve as the position of the great Situ is really deserved. Wang Zifu and the others didn't expect Xu Ji to have such a proposal, and they were caught off guard, they didn't have a better candidate for a while, and Liu Xie couldn't find any other reason to object, not to mention that he had just taken advantage of Xu Ji, and he also knew that he couldn't anger Xu Ji too much, not to mention that in his mind, a Xun Yu was just a big storm, how much of a storm could it set off? It should be regarded as giving Xu Ji a face. Therefore, I gladly agreed.

After a morning of struggle, Xu Ji and Liu Xie reached a compromise agreement on the surface, but in reality Xu Ji returned victorious. Subsequently, Xu Ji asked Liu Xie to release Taiwei Yang Biao from prison on the grounds of "to show the benevolence of the Holy Earth", and Liu Xie of course agreed without objection.

However, Liu Xie also has a proposal, that is, he hopes that Cai Yan can continue to serve as a taifu and continue to teach his piano skills. Cai Yong's consent had been won for this matter, but considering that Cai Yan was at least nominally Xu Ji's unmarried wife, Liu Xie came to ask Xu Ji.

Can Xu Ji still say no? The name of the marriage between the two is only nominal, although Yining does have the intention of facilitating, but Xu Ji himself feels that it is too troublesome and resists a little. In this way, how can Xu Ji have the power to restrict Cai Yan's actions? Seeing that Xu Ji agreed, Liu Xie immediately showed an innocent smile that rarely appeared on his face.

However, as soon as this matter was mentioned, the atmosphere in the court immediately relaxed, after all, this is an extremely elegant thing. At this time, Xu Ji could see Liu Xie's childish side.

The laughter of the crowd dispersed.

Xu Ji hurriedly returned to the house, wanting to tell Xun Yu about Xun Yu's appointment as the chief situ, who knew that Xun Yu was called by Xu Zijiang. was sitting in a group of celebrities talking and laughing, Xu Ji knew that Xu Zijiang was creating momentum for Xun Yu. Thinking that Guo Jia was leaving today, Xu Ji went to find Guo Jia. I hope to spend more time with this ghost.

Back in the house. Unexpectedly, he found that Guo Huai was waiting for him, and he sent information from all over the country to Xu Ji. First of all, it was an official document sent by Yizhou. As Xu Ji and Jia Xu expected, after Zhang Ren and Liu Bei returned to Yizhou, they united with the families of Yizhou to launch a coup d'état. Because the army is in the hands of Liu Bei and Zhang Ren, plus Liu Yan's three sons have become hostages, and there is also the news that Liu Xie returned to Chang'an, and Pang Tong planned everything for it. Therefore, this matter went very smoothly, and Liu Yan had no choice but to abdicate obediently, and then he died because of his illness.

His three sons were placed under house arrest. Do not meet with outsiders. In the official document of the family of Yizhou, Liu Yan was said to be a royal prince and a national thief, so naturally everyone was punished for it, and now Liu Yan is dead. Yizhou is ownerless. Yizhou's family joint name Liu Bei is the history of Yizhou's assassination.

Xu Ji knows. This matter is actually a matter of form, and I am powerless to prevent this from happening. Then there was Jingzhou, Xu Ji inadvertently did Sun Ce a big favor, because he had to deal with the battle of Chang'an some time ago, Xu Ji asked Li Yan to reveal his identity, which caused a chain reaction in Jingzhou, Liu Biao did not expect that his northern barrier would suddenly surrender, so the family in Jingzhou was in chaos. After all, it was Liu Biao's idea to appoint Li Yan, and now Li Yan surrendered to Xu Ji. As the assassin of Jingzhou, of course, he must be fully responsible. Xu Ji's attitude towards the family is well known to the world, so the family in Jingzhou is far more afraid of Xu Ji than Sun Ce. For a while, the clans of Jingzhou began to criticize Liu Biao one after another, originally secretly defecting to Sun Ce, but now it has become a blatant defection.

In the end, even the Kuai family also threw themselves on Sun Ce's side, while the Cai family joined forces with Zhang Yun to launch a mutiny out of family interests, and all the sailors in Jingzhou threw themselves to Sun Ce. In the end, there was only one Xiangyang left in the area controlled by Liu Biao, the assassin of Jingzhou. Liu Biao had no choice but to abandon the city and flee, and ran to Yizhou with his eldest son Liu Qi and defected to Liu Bei, while his second son was abandoned in Xiangyang by Liu Biao and Mrs. Cai. Since Cai Mao and the others are unkind, of course, he can't be blamed for Liu Biao's unrighteousness.

After Liu Biao fled, the clans of Jingzhou also handed out a joint letter to Chang'an. Cousin Sun Ce is the history of Jingzhou Thorn.

Although he had known the outcome of the matter for a long time, Xu Ji also felt deeply helpless. But Xu Ji also knew that he was doing his best.

It has been less than ten years since I came to this era. has basically unified the entire north, even the historical Cao Cao. That's it, right?

Speaking of Cao Cao, probably in Jiangdong, he is also proud, right?

However, Xu Ji didn't take it to heart, after all, yesterday Xun Yu had already proposed to him a way to deal with the princes of the three parties. The current form can be said to be very beneficial to themselves, after a period of conquest, the princes of the world are very afraid of themselves, and they know the strength of the Yanzhou army.

Therefore, it is conceivable that the princes of all walks of life will actively prepare for war in case they start a war against them.

Indeed, he is now a big sikong, from the original dark to light, but he still has two dark chess moves under his hands, Zhang Xiu and Jia Hao are used to deal with Liu Xie, and Xun Yu is used to deal with the princes of the world. When people's eyes are focused on themselves, it is the time when the two of them take the lives of their enemies without realizing it.

While thinking about it, Xun Yu and Guo Jia came into the house with a smile. Xu Ji hurriedly bowed and saluted.

Xu Ji introduced Guo Huai to the two, and when Guo Huai learned the identities of the two people in front of him, he was taken aback, and his words and deeds were very respectful.

Xun Yu and Guo Jia were eyeing strange lights, obviously seeing Guo Huai's extraordinary. Xu Ji showed the information brought by Guo Huai to the two.

The two didn't react much, because these things were expected.

Then Xu Ji explained to the two of them what happened this morning, and when they learned that Zhang Ji was appointed as the assassin of Yuzhou, they couldn't help laughing, especially Guo Jia almost burst into tears. As for Xu Ji's worries about the problem after the Lu clan broke off the army, Guo Jia's suggestion was to turn Du Ji, who had been in Henan County, into the Sizhou Assassin History, and let that Han Hao be the queen of frustration.

Anyway, now that Luoyang is no longer the capital, and it is deserted, it should also be set up in Sizhou.

The idea was immediately agreed.

Xu Ji told Xun Yu about being the chief situ again, which immediately caused another burst of laughter.

However, Xun Yu was not concerned about this issue, he was now concerned about how to fight Xu Ji's enemies.

With the arrival of Xun Yu, the world is about to change.

When Xu Ji told Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty that Cai Yan would continue to be a taifu and teach him piano skills, Guo Jia frowned and said to Xu Ji: "Lord, this thing is a little wrong. ”

Xun Yu first glanced at Guo Huai, who was standing aside, and also said in a condensed voice: "According to the current development of the situation in Chang'an, the lord will definitely have many disagreements with the saint. ”

Although Guo Huai is his own person, there are very few people who know that Xu Ji has the determination to change the dynasty even in Yanzhou, so Xun Yu's words are very cautious. Xu Ji smiled bitterly: "Of course I know this, the question is, can I still refuse this matter?" But I don't think it's a big problem, right? After all, the marriage contract between me and Cai's family is just a formality, in fact, the relationship between me and Cai's family is limited to general communication, and there is nothing good about it. If the saint thinks that everyone Cai will come to me because of the affairs of the court, I am afraid that it will be wrong. (To be continued......)
