Xu Ji said goodbye to Mi Zhu, and returned to Yingchuan with Mi Qian and Chen Zhi in early March, and chaos broke out everywhere, although Xuzhou to Yingchuan is not too far, but after all, it has to pass through Yanzhou, where the Yellow Turban is the most raging, although Jizhou is the town of Zhangjiao, but the displaced people in Yanzhou responded in all directions, causing Xu Ji to delay a lot of time, and when he arrived in Yingchuan, Emperor Ling's response finally issued an edict.

Emperor Ling's foreign Qi He Jin was the general, and he led the five battalions of Yulin to stay in the capital pavilion, point weapons on the hour, and guard the Beijing division; In addition, from the Hangu Pass, Otani, Guangcheng, Yique, Yuyuan, Revolving Gate, Mengjin, Kopingjin and other Kyoto Passes, set up the garrison of the Commandery; He ordered all prefectures and counties to prepare for battle, train soldiers, count weapons, and gather rebels.

When Xu Ji arrived in Yingchuan, it coincided with the replacement of the Yingchuan county guard again, and the previous county guard carried the black pot for the outbreak of the Yellow Turban, this time the county guard surnamed Wen had no time to embarrass Xu Ji and Guo Jia, not only because of the ravages of the Yellow Turban Army, but also because Guo Jia had already gathered many poor scholars to form a private party and support each other, and its momentum should not be underestimated.

Guo Jia has been busy with life and death in the past few months, and as soon as Xu Ji returned to Yingchuan, the prodigal son, he immediately threw down the affairs in his hand and threatened to stop caring about it.

Sima Mansion, now Xu Mansion, Xun's uncle and nephew, Guo Jia, Xu Ji, the four of them sat around, and a pot of wine on the table was still hot.

Guo Jia looked tired: "Wen Lie, since you have already made arrangements, now that you come back, you will take over by yourself, why bother pulling me and not letting me go, I have been waiting for such a long time to be so idle?" ”

Xun Yu, who was already crowned, said with a smile: "Fengxiao is so lazy, and it is also a loss to Wenlie, otherwise who would dare to hand over this family business to you?" The prodigal son is really a prodigal son, and this character can't be changed. ”

Xun Yu, who was opposite Xun Yu, got up and poured wine for a few people, and said: "What Uncle said is very true, I originally thought that Wen Lie's entrustment and Feng Xiao were entrusted to non-people, but although Feng Xiao was lazy, he could take care of it in an orderly manner, Wen Lie's ability to recognize people is really extraordinary, and Feng Xiao is indeed very human." ”

Xu Ji smiled slightly: "If Fengxiao has changed his lazy temperament, then he is still the Guo Fengxiao you know?" ”

Xun's uncle and nephew Ha Lu Ha laughed, Guo Jia raised his glass and took a sip of warm wine: "If you don't say this, you just know how to mock me." Wen Lie, now that the world is already full of chaos, what should we do next? ”

Xu Ji raised his eyes and looked at the sky: "It's the right time, the party and Qingliu can't bear the loneliness anymore, it's time to come out and make waves." ”

After hearing this, the three of them were silent at the same time, and stopped talking. This may be the most favorable news for Qingliu in this turmoil, because Emperor Ling is bound to enable Qingliu, that is to say, the party will be lifted, and these celebrities who are idle and reclusive because of the party are justifiably entered the core class of power, and such a price is that the twenty-eight counties of seven states are in turmoil, and hundreds of people are in misery. And what a few people were most worried about was the result that Qingliu and the party members did not know what would lead to dissatisfaction, which was even more terrible than the turmoil of the Yellow Turban.

As Xu Ji expected, news came in a few days: Huangfu Song asked for the lifting of the party ban, took out the palace money and the good horses in the West Garden to give to the sergeants to improve morale, and then Lu Yi said to Emperor Ling: "The party has been accumulated for a long time, if you conspire with the Yellow Turban, you will regret it."

So Emperor Ling issued an edict to abolish the party system, reappoint Qingliu, and asked the ministers to donate horses and crossbows, and recommend the descendants of the generals and the people who knew the soldiers to the office for interviews. Emperor Ling compromised and sold a big face to the party, which was no less than the joy of heaven for Qingliu, who was squeezed out of the core of power in Kanto.

In fact, neither eunuchs nor relatives like Qingliu, because these people are arrogant and arrogant, and they like to say things in the name of righteousness, but it is precisely because of this characteristic of Qingliu that they are eunuchs and relatives must fight for the strength of the game, and Qingliu relies on this two-sided style to survive and become more and more powerful, and the disaster of the party, to put it bluntly, is just the eunuchs and relatives to squeeze Qingliu out of the core of power, and now the situation has to lift the party. If you want to kick the party out of the core of power, I'm afraid it's not so simple.

The so-called invitation to God is easy and difficult to send God, and the Qingliu Party members have been recognized by the party for many years, and reputation cannot guarantee their power, and this prompted them to seek the strength to provide protection for themselves, the simplest is to change the dynasty. Secondly, it is to support the army and become a vassal of one side.

And the reason why Xun's uncles and nephews and Guo Jia are silent is because they have already seen it very clearly, the fundamental system does not change, but the superficial change of the dynasty cannot solve the problem, it is just a change of a group of relatives and eunuchs fighting, Qingliu is still the head of the wall, everything will not change, and this is obviously not what the Qingliuhe Party is pursuing, and once they find out that this is not what they want, it will inevitably happen again.

Of course, all this has nothing to do with Xu Ji for the time being, what he needs now is a huge reputation and a lot of money, if he wants to participate in this game of gambling the world, he also needs a stepping stone, at least, he must have an official identity. But for Xu Ji, the qualifications he needs to be promoted may not be so simple.

At this time, Emperor Ling sent elite troops to suppress the chaos in various places: Lu Zhiling, the deputy general, led the five colonels of the Northern Army to take charge of the northern front, and dealt with Zhang Jiao's main force; Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun each led an army, controlled more than 40,000 people from the Five Schools, the Three Rivers Knights and the newly recruited elite warriors, and attacked the Yellow Turban Army in the Yingchuan area. This thing made Xu Ji a little regretful, after all, Sun Jian is the real hero, at this time he was in Xiapi, when Xu Ji went to Xuzhou, if he knew what to say, he would also have to visit, Sun Ce at this time was probably born, just to see if the "Jiangdong Little Overlord" who later shined in his childhood was not unique.

And Xu Ji is of course not only concerned about Sun Jian, but this time Emperor Ling's reaction was surprisingly fast, the party has just been lifted and a large number of party members Qingliu have been appointed to enter the court, and it is obvious that many of the subordinates led by Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song are the children of high-ranking cadres, and they are simply waiting for promotion with military merits, obviously, the party and Qingliu can't wait to regain their own right to speak, and in fact, relatives and eunuchs do need the support of these second generations, these second generations represent the huge family behind them, and this is the reliance of Emperor Ling, but these so-called dependences are likely to be beasts that devour the lord, and the soldiers and horses in the emperor's hands cannot be relied on but need the private soldiers of the world to fight, so the best result for this emperor is just a puppet.

Although Xu Ji knew that it was difficult for these two troops to achieve any merits, Xu Ji still decided to go to the service, and the reason for not considering Lu Zhi was very simple, Lu Zhi was a general, and all the soldiers and horses under his command were personally trained, and it was obvious that Emperor Ling trusted Lu Zhi very much, otherwise he would definitely not hand over all the wars in the north to him. And the reason for serving the two old generals is also very simple, because Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song, the two respected old ministers, will definitely not bury the truly talented people, as long as Xu Ji can show enough talent, these two can provide Xu Ji with the opportunity to become a scholar, even if it is just filial piety, Xu Ji needs to be just an identity. Another reason is more direct, the two generals are responsible for the eradication of the Yellow Turbans in the Yingchuan area, Xu Ji does not need to be near and far, not to mention that Lu Zhi may not need Xu Ji.

But Xu Ji didn't plan to go to the garrison of the two old generals immediately, this group of second generations has not suffered defeats, and their eyes are above the top, and they will definitely not be taken seriously at this time, and there is no more interesting rectification waiting for them, and Xu Ji said that he is only twelve years old, although it seems that Lao Cheng is a child after all, so this time the person on the bright side must be Chen Zhi or Mi Qian, Xu Ji is determined to pay attention to being a behind-the-scenes not to come out, What Xu Ji is waiting for now is the time when the arrogant Luoyang Guards will suffer a defeat in the hands of the Yellow Turban Army, whose combat effectiveness is like a chicken and a dog, in their eyes, and this time is obviously not too late.

Because Nanyang County Shou Chu Gong was killed by Zhang Mancheng, in response, Nanyang immediately fell, and the Yellow Turban's offensive became more and more fierce, Emperor Ling once again ordered to urge the two old generals to send troops to suppress, this time Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song had to bite the bullet and lead the troops to set off, although they all knew that these soldiers and horses under their command were just shows, but the order was effective, even if they knew that they would be defeated, they could only send troops.

Xu Ji's impatient pursuit of promotion is also very simple, like Xun Yu's uncle and nephew, a well-known young talent who only needs Yingchuan to settle down a little will inevitably be recruited, and Xu Ji knows that he doesn't have much time and must hurry up, Guo Jia obviously does not yearn for officialdom, and Xun Yu's uncle and nephew can obviously recommend him, and the most important thing is that Guo Jia's temperament is too jumpy and obviously needs to be sharpened, Xu Ji is different, Guo Jia is a descendant of the Guo family after all, he can be regarded as a famous family, Xu Ji's identity as a cold man is destined to be promoted only from his military exploits, Otherwise, he can only wait to serve others, Xu Ji is obviously unwilling, so this is the best time.

And since you have decided to join the battlefield, you must need a lot of preparation, first of all, it is a group of people, obviously it is impossible for two or three people to defect, so there will be no chance to be taken seriously. Thanks to Xu Ji's early preparations, the gang of Jianghu rangers and idlers left at the beginning can just be organized into a group of village warriors, and these people obviously Guo Jia did not ignore them, and privately ordered them to practice diligently, of course, these things were handed over to Chen Zhi, he would select the best backbone and recruit new volunteers, and lead them to train through this part of the backbone.

When Chen Zhi and Mi Qian were busy with intense recruitment and training, the two of them were unexpectedly tacit understanding. And Xu Ji was also busy paying attention to the war, the Yellow Turban Army suffered a defeat in the Zhongmu area, and contracted in the Xingyang area, while Zhu Jun was stationed in Zhongmu, and the Huangfu Song on the other road was also marching all the way to Chenliu, but Xu Ji had a bad premonition, it was too smooth, even if the combat effectiveness of the mighty Yellow Turban was low, it would never be possible to retreat so quickly, and this uneasiness became more dignified after learning that the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai in Yingchuan was a Bocai.

Bo Cai, Xu Ji, has indeed heard of it, Bo Cai is not a fool who doesn't know the hearts of the people, this is a well-known Yang Zhai Hao powerful family, thousands of acres of fertile land at home, and there are not a few guests attached to him, the military talent of such a person who runs a big family cannot be so low, at least Xu Ji can be sure that Bocai must be able to see the hearts of the people, how can this gang of second-generation miscellaneous troops defeat the Yellow Turban that ravages Yingchuan so smoothly? Thinking of this, Xu Ji suddenly woke up, this is a plan for the arrogant soldiers, Bocai is designed for those chicks in Zhu Jun's army who have no experience in battle formations, and it is in the middle of the weakness, Xu Ji has seen Zhu Jun's failure, and this failure may mean that the two people are difficult to achieve in Yingchuan, Xu Ji saw the opportunity, Bocai must not have expected Xu Ji's variable, for Bocai, Xu Ji is a completely unknown existence, but Xu Ji is like a sharp arrow hidden in the shadows, the weakness of Yingchuan Yellow Turban Xu Ji is clear in his chest, and this, will give Bocai a huge surprise.

Of course, all this is based on the premise of gaining the trust of Zhu Jun or Huangfu Song, and it may be difficult to gain the trust of the two of them, but Zhu Jun alone is very simple, because Zhu Jun will soon have to pay the price of defeat for him, or for the second generation of the group of light enemies under his command, and the opportunity that Xu Ji is aiming at is at this time, and sending charcoal in the snow is often the premise of being able to get the most benefits.
