Chapter 120: Desperate Tricks

Zhang Miao was very relaxed, because he was sure that he would win, he had more capital than Xu Ji, and Xu Ji was the opposite, he was very anxious, he had no capital to spend with Zhang Miao. But despite this, neither side showed their intentions, Xu Ji still looked at Zhang Miao from forty miles away, but Xu Ji had capital, and he already had a way to break the deadlock.

At this time, Xu Ji got a good good news, Xu Huang decided to join Xu Ji, the reason is very simple, he also has his ambitions, and these ambitions are not possible for Zhang Miao to achieve for him, although Xu Ji may not be able to do it, but at least Xu Ji is very calm, this is a point that Xu Huang values, and Xu Ji can obviously bring him much more help than Zhang Miao, at least this young superintendent has a similar experience to himself, which is the most important reason why he chose Xu Ji.

Of course, Xu Ji's plan has not changed because of this, Xu Huang is the icing on the cake for him, and what really helps him is that Xun Yu can bring him something special, but Xu Ji does not have much confidence in this. The ordnance and grain and grass delivered by Xiangyi are on the way, and what Xu Ji is planning now is to "leak" the news to Zhang Miao, and then lure him to forcibly seize this batch of materials, but this is obviously not an easy thing, Zhang Miao is not a fool, this Xu Ji is very clear about this, if he has a little flaw, the other party will never take the bait, but Xu Ji has to take a risk, and now the situation in Yu County has become a bit of a rumor, Although the people in Yu County all support Xu Ji, there are always some restless guys who are making trouble, but Xu Ji can't deal with these guys for the time being, otherwise he will be sure that he is not as good as Zhang Miao, so the army's morale is bound to be turbulent. This is something Xu Ji can't afford.

As for how to get Zhang Miao to get the news, Xu Ji already has a way, but how to seduce Zhang Miao is a tricky thing. Xu Ji didn't think that Zhang Miao would not see the suspicions, so his plans became a little sloppy. However, it is not impossible, as long as Xu Ji can cut off Zhang Miao's grain channel, Zhang Miao will be forced to forcibly snatch this batch of materials from Xiangyi.

The problem is, Xu Ji's strength at hand at this time is probably not enough to cut off Zhang Miao's grain route, and it is an extremely risky thing to go behind the enemy to cut off the other party's grain route, and it is just a matter of attacking, but if you want to cut it off, then there must be a big gap in the strength of the two sides, and the other party is trapped in a lonely city, but Zhang Miao's situation at this time has obviously not reached that situation.

Xu Ji was very troubled, although Zhang Miao had been subject to himself everywhere since Chen Liuxian had been in his own hands, his muscles and bones had not been injured, let alone forcing him to make a mess. It is unrealistic to want Zhang Miao to make a stupid move, but Xu Ji knows very well that he will definitely lose if he continues to consume like this, and there is no support from the family behind him, to a certain extent, Xu Ji and Zhang Miao have always been unequal in this war, in terms of identity and status, in terms of strength, Xu Ji is at an all-round disadvantage, and he can be proud of himself enough to play like this with the cards in his hand that are not good, but this is not what Xu Ji wants. It's not that he didn't think he would lose, but he definitely didn't lose like this, not to mention that he had more things to do now, and it was impossible for him to stop here.

For Zhang Miao at this time. He also didn't want to drag it out, because even if he won it, it would only be a miserable victory, and Xu Ji's step-by-step approach left a deep impression on him. This opponent will never allow him to solve comfortably, even if he can defeat Xu Ji in the end, the price he will pay will probably exceed the bottom limit he can bear. But Zhang Miao had no choice. Now that he is already inferior in the situation, if the strength of both sides is equal, he has already chosen to surrender now. And the only thing Zhang Miao can rely on is that he has more capital. No matter what talent Xu Ji has, it is impossible to make up for this, which is why Zhang Miao has been insisting.

Zhang Miao is very sober, now the situation in Yuxian County is a quagmire, he and Xu Ji are deeply trapped in it, the only difference is that he was forced to be dragged in by Xu Ji, and Xu Ji arranged it by himself. To some extent, this can indeed close the gap between the two sides, but it will also exacerbate the gap in power between the two sides. Zhang Miao only needs to maintain the current situation, he is sure that as long as the stalemate lasts for more than a month, Xu Ji will no longer be able to support it, but can it last that long? Zhang Miao himself didn't know.

In the big camp of Yu County, Xu Ji was sitting alone in the big tent at this time, and in front of him was the sand table of the terrain around Yu County. He sighed deeply, looked at the small black flag on the sand table indicating the location of the camp and was stunned, two days have passed, he still hasn't come up with any good way to deal with Zhang Miao, and the previous plan has to be stranded, he really has no confidence to let Zhang Miao be fooled, and more importantly, it is too risky to do that, he can't afford to gamble.

At this moment, the curtain of the big tent was lifted, Xu Ji turned his head keenly, only to see Chen Zhi standing at the door in military uniform, Xu Ji reached out and pinched his eyebrows and said, "Uncle Zhi, what's the matter?" There was a deep exhaustion in his tone.

Chen Zhi walked into the big tent and bowed and said, "My subordinates came back from their inspection and heard that the Lord had not eaten for two days, so I came to take a look." ”

Xu Ji smiled bitterly when he heard this, he almost forgot that he hadn't eaten anything in the past two days, Chen Zhi didn't mention that he hadn't realized it, and now Chen Zhi said that he realized that he was indeed a little hungry, and his current mental state was really bad after two nights of sleeplessness. Xu Ji narrowed his somewhat sour eyes and said, "What has Zhang Miao been doing in the past two days?" ”

Chen Zhi shook his head and replied, "It's the same as usual, it's still hanging the war-free card." ”

"It seems that this old guy has made up his mind to drag me down, Uncle Zhi, what do you think?" Xu Ji was really tired now, so he asked Chen Zhi such a question casually. Chen Zhi was a little surprised when he heard this, and then replied with a normal face: "The Lord has always been in the chest, but Shuzhi doesn't have any good ideas, but I just feel that if it drags on like this, it is better to use some surprising winning tricks." ”

Xu Ji's eyebrows jumped when he heard this, and he didn't care about the ridicule in Chen Zhi's words, but the so-called surprise victory shook his somewhat chaotic brain very much. Indeed, it is difficult to change the situation now, and the conventional way to solve it is not realistic for Xu Ji. Only by taking risks can you have a chance, but what is this method? Xu Ji is not good at using odds. Maybe he needs Guo Langzi to help with this problem.

But this is not in a hurry, now Xu Ji is most anxious to feed his stomach and then sleep well. Otherwise, he really doesn't have any energy to care about these mind-consuming things, Chen Zhi is an old subordinate after all, Xu Ji showed this appearance, he knew that this guy was most likely tired, so he immediately said goodbye and left, Xu Ji naturally didn't care about it, he casually asked the guards to find some food and messy generals, and then immediately went back to make up for sleep, and all the energy on Xu Ji's body had been consumed by the tossing and turning for the past two days and two nights.

At the same time, Yingyin's Xun Yu is also facing this same tricky situation, he has indeed been looking for some of Zhang Miao's available handles, but he has never found it, this is a sleek and sophisticated guy. has always been friendly with Yuan Shao, but who is Yuan Shao? This is the next head of the world's first gate valve who has come out of the so-called four worlds and three dukes, and he can be regarded as the leader of the scholars, and he is friendly with Yuan Shao, so no matter what the blow of public opinion, it is obviously difficult to hurt this guy, and this guy only made some small mistakes when he was young, these are not enough to make Zhang Miao lose his current status, it is such a troublesome network that makes Xun Yu very distressed, and he failed to complete Xu Ji's entrustment, which really makes him a little ashamed.

But in fact, Xun Yu didn't get nothing, although Zhang Miao didn't have much leverage, but he also said a lot of ambiguous things. It's just that these are obviously impractical to bring down Zhang Miao, Xun Yu doesn't think that these will be fatal enough, for the sake of today's plan, he can only hope that Xu Ji himself can make progress in the battle situation, as for the possible criticism from Shilin and the imperial court, Xun Yu has a way to solve it.

But Xun Yu didn't know that Xu Ji was also very tricky. And it's even more troublesome than Xun Yu imagined.

Even though Xun Yu had imagined the situation bad enough, the situation in Yu County was still far beyond what he expected, and the news that Xu Ji had sent to him was hardly any good news. Of course, Xun Yu could understand Xu Ji's worries, and even he could see it more clearly. After all, if the situation is allowed to develop according to the current situation, it is almost certain that Xu Ji will bring about his own destruction. But Xun Yu also knows that Zhang Miao can't afford to play such a situation. That's why the two sides are stuck in such a stalemate, neither side is sure of victory, and there is also no solution to the current predicament, so they can only delay each other like this. But Xun Yu knew very well that Xu Ji would not continue to let the situation develop like this, but Xun Yu was also curious about how Zhang Miao would deal with it? After all, Xu Ji's essence is not a person who follows the rules.

Of course, Xu Ji will not disappoint Xun Yu, once there is no way to solve it through the so-called normal way, Xu Ji will use some means that make people feel a little frightened, but before that, Xu Ji still decided to see what Guo Jia has good ideas.

Of course, Guo Jia will not be unpredictable, Chen Zhi has already informed this wine lord in advance, and Guo Jia also has some opinions on the current situation in Yu County, and he is just about to tell Xu Ji. Therefore, Xu Ji got up from his slumber and saw Guo Langzi half-lying on the desk without a proper position, still holding a wine jug in his hand, Xu Ji sneered: "Prodigal son, why did you still come to my tent to drink?" ”

Only then did Guo Jia open his slightly hazy drunken eyes and said: "I've been waiting for you to wake up for three hours, my lord, you are idle, but do you have anything to deal with the current situation in this county?" As soon as he finished saying this, Xu Ji understood, this guy looked drunk but was actually very sober, so Xu Ji didn't bother to get up and sat on the bed and said: "I was about to ask you what you have in mind, I have been bothered by this matter for several days, but there is no good way after all." ”

Guo Jia's eyes flashed with a hint of sharpness when he heard this, and he noticed that what Xu Ji said was that there was no good way instead of no way, but as for why Xu Ji hid it? Although Guo Jia doesn't know, he can guess some, he knows Xu Ji's personality as well as Xun Yu, and even knows what kind of person Xu Ji is better than Xun Yu. And these are things that others don't understand, and this is also the reason why Xu Ji is the leader of the three, he is more suitable to be the backbone than Xun Yu and himself, because he is more angular.

Guo Jia thought about these irrelevant things, but his answer was not slow: "There are no good ideas, but there are a lot of bad ideas." Wen Lie, what are you going to do? We can't afford to put it off. Guo Jia said it very bluntly, and of course Xu Ji knew it. He just sighed and said, "I can't imagine that the prodigal son also has a time when you are full of bad ideas, and I plan to have it." It's just that it doesn't necessarily work. Speaking of this, Xu Ji paused, looked at Guo Jia and continued: "Moreover, that is a fateful idea. ”

Guo Jia raised his eyebrows when he heard this. Playfully repeated: "Playing with life? Xu Wenlie, do you really want to play with your life? Xu Ji chuckled and nodded: "It's true, Tong Su is not bullied." ”

Guo Jia lifted the wine jug and poured it into his mouth and said, "Tell me, how desperate is it?" The tone revealed was not frivolous, but solemn. Xu Ji also sat up and said with a serious face: "I want to force Zhang Miao to confront me head-on." ”

"How?" Guo Jia obviously didn't think Xu Ji could do it.

But Xu Ji didn't have any change in his expression, he just supported his head with his hand and replied: "Break the cauldron and sink the boat, or the strong man breaks his wrist." The determination in his tone was like a sword unsheathed. Guo Jia couldn't help but feel a little chilled when he heard this, this Xu Ji may not have been seen by others, but he is not a stranger, this is the Xu Ji who is even cold-blooded in his memory, but as Xu Ji grows older, he hardly sees him like this anymore. And at this moment, Guo Jia realized that Xu Ji was back.

"What's the details?" Guo Jia's whole person was excited, this kind of Xu Ji was the state that his best friend should have, Guo Jia had completely entered the state at this time, he was very curious about how Xu Ji would force Zhang Miao to give up a situation where he would win if it dragged on and chose to confront Xu Ji head-on.

Xu Ji's eyes flashed with a joke: "Zhang Mengzhuo never thought that I would use this method. I'm going to use the thousand people Xu Qian brought from Xiangyi as bait! Guo Jia frowned, he still didn't understand. Xu Ji smiled and continued: "I will order him to set up another camp ten miles before the camp, and if Zhang Miao still has no response in three days, he will set up another camp ten miles forward." ”

Guo Jia instantly understood that Xu Ji was a serious method, this was knowing that Zhang Miao would not go out of the camp to fight, so he was forcibly slapping Zhang Miao in the face. Once Xu Ji set up the camp to ten miles outside Zhang Miao's camp, then Zhang Miao would have to fight with him even if he was unwilling, it was very simple, if Xu Ji was allowed to do this, his morale would drop to freezing, and his Zhang Mengzhuo's face would be trampled on by Xu Ji for nothing. As a celebrity and celebrity, Zhang Miao will never accept this result. And to do so is of course to take a huge risk and have to bear your own losses.

If you want to force Zhang Miao and Xu Ji to face off head-on, you must first force Zhang Miao to come out of his camp, and secondly, you must let Zhang Miao see Xu Ji's losses, so the soldiers who are separated from Lu will inevitably suffer heavy losses. And this is exactly what Xu Ji called a strong man's broken wrist, what he wants is to rely on his more inferior strength to win this battle. That is, it is a wreck!

After listening to Xu Ji's words, Guo Jia said with some concern: "How do you explain to Liao Yu?" What do the people of Nanchen say about it? Xu Ji replied with a contemptuous smile when he heard this: "If you win, it's right, who cares about this if you lose?" Bong-hyo. Now it's no longer a situation where I want to choose, Zhang Miao has forced me to a dead end, once I don't have the courage to die, then the last thing is still defeat. Since there are no more worries, why can't you give it a go? Even if I lose, I will let Zhang Miao bear such a bad identity forever. The fierceness in Xu Ji's words is enough to show that Xu Ji is extremely determined, Guo Jia naturally has no intention of stopping, in his opinion, this is almost the most effective of the few methods, as for the price, as long as you win, the price is worth it, if you lose, the price will only be greater than this.

And Guo Jia, who got the answer, was not interested in staying for a long time, he still had to arrange, Xu Ji naturally couldn't continue to stay between the beds at this time, and he had to do some things by himself. Now he has worked hard to do all the things he can plan, and the result can only be accepted calmly.

But Xu Ji had unexpected confidence, his intuition told him that this time Zhang Miao would definitely be tricked, because no one would make such a seemingly crazy decision as himself, and Zhang Miao would never have expected that Xu Jin would rather pay such a painful price than defeat him, this is the source of Xu Ji's self-confidence, because no one could expect his unexpected move.

Although this is a move to hurt the enemy by one thousand and self-damage to eight hundred, but it is the best choice for Xu Ji, when the problem can not be solved from the proper way, he can only use these means that do not seem to be very good on the table, and this is also a desperate trick, once it fails, Zhang Miao does not need to do it, only need to say Xu Ji's intentions, then Xu Ji will be spurned by the people of Nan Chenliu, and naturally no one will care about the life or death of such a person.

But Xu Ji has always believed in such a sentence: If you don't have the determination to die, you don't deserve to live in the world.

Without the determination to die, how can there be a chance to continue to live? Zhang Miao may not understand this truth, but it doesn't matter, because Xu Ji will soon teach Zhang Miao this truth, and the tuition fee is that Zhang Miao will completely withdraw from the stage of Chen Liu.

Will this battle become the curtain call performance of Xu Ji or Zhang Miao? (To be continued......)
